I've been having some mild headaches in the last year or so, so I thought I'd get my eyes tested seeing as I haven't in about 15 years, just in case. I was sure there was nothing wrong with my vision at all, and the optometrist told me that I was right, I actually have perfect vision - but I need glasses apparently, because the muscles in my eyes have to work harder because they turn in or out naturally, I forget which one... I have to say I'm really surprised as I thought glasses were only for poor vision - does anyone know anything about this?

I forgot to mention, the glasses are for reading/computer use... she said if I wore them all the time, long sighted things might seem blurry.

My daughter has an optic nerve coloboma and strabismus (lazy eye), but her vision is fine. She needs glasses to help strengthen the muscles in her eye, same as you. This is very normal. Glasses are not just for people with poor vision.

Never heard of it. I think I would get a second opinion or call another optometrist and ask if this sounds right to them.

I personally would look around for a different opinion. It's possible the problem is not in your eyes, but however, possibly in your head (brain). You should call for a second opinion.
