I got glasses two weeks ago and he told me its better to just wear the glasses when i need to, no need to wear them 24/7 because it can give you a headache and its kinda bad for your vision, is this right?
you should only wear your glasses when you NEED to? Most people wear them 24/7

Maybe he meant that you, specifically, should not wear your glasses all of the time. Other people cannot see unless they have their glasses on. You might have decent vision, but just need your glasses for reading. Why don't you call him and get clarification if you're not sure what he meant?

Why would you wear your glasses to bed? That what you are doing if you are wearing them 24/7, unless you never sleep.
Some people need to wear their glasses at all times when they are awake. If not, then they cannot see anything. These people cannot function without glasses because they have severe near-sightedness.
There are others who only need their glasses to do reading or watching TV or some other activity that requires finer vision. These people are not severely near sighted.
I guess it all depends on how well you can function without your glasses. If you are doing an activity that you can do without wearing your glasses then take them off. Don't lose your glasses though.

Well I would not wear them to bed. I also don't wear them in the shower. It all depends on your vision- mine is pretty bad, I really can't function well without them because my vision is so bad. When I first started wearing glasses, my vision without them was 20/40 so I did not wear them all the time. I would take them off to read. Now my vision is 20/400 without them, so I have to have them to function.
I have contacts now- but I wear them all the time except when I sleep. If I am not wearing them while I am awake, I wear my glasses.
I would say that if that is what the doctor is telling you and you can function without them sometimes then do it. Glasses are a pain. You may ease into them, wear them for a few hours each day- until you get used to them.

Well, you should wear them when you need to see well, such as work or school. Of course, don't wear them to bed. He says that you will get a headache simply because you are still getting used to them. As time passes, you can wear them more and more often. But the reason it can be bad for you is because the more you wear them, the more dependent your eyes will become of them, and your sight will slowly fade. But after a few weeks, you should be able to wear them whenever you want.
