Should I wear my glasses all the time, or just wear them when I read?

Question

I recently had my prescription changed for my glasses 3 weeks ago. I had to get a new prescription, and recently when I was at a bowling alley trying to read the numbers on the monitor I could not see the numbers clearly, (The monitor was about 5 feet away) but when I put my glasses on I could see the monitor clearly. ALso if I don't wear my glasses like I should, I would get terrible headaches. I used to be far-sighted, but now I am suddenly near-sighted. I don't mind wearing them, but should I wear them at all times, or just when I read. My doctor told me what causes the headaches, but I forgot, what causes the headaches from not wearing them?

Answer 1

If you're getting headaches and can't see things five feet away, you need to wear them all the time. The headache is caused by eyestrain, because your eyes are struggling to focus.

Answer 2

Call your doctor and ask him about wearing the glasses all the time. Also ask about the headaches

Answer 3

The headaches are from eyestrain, wear them when you need them,when you are reading for sure to avoid headaches ...

Answer 4

i think the more u wear them, the sooner you wont need to, i think ur eyes would adjust to seeing as they did with the sunglasses... but i think u shud wear them, what cud u lose, get contacts if u dont like glasses... and i heard u get headaches from wearing other peoples glasses..

Answer 5

That should be addressed to your eye doctor. A lay person doesn't have the qualification to answer.

Answer 6

Don't wear them all the time. Your eyes will become lazy and depend on them, it happend to me.

Answer 7

no because you can stain your eyes
