is it true that wearing glasses makes myopia getting worse?

Wearing glasses, when prescribed by an eye care professional, does not inherently make myopia (nearsightedness) worse. In fact, properly prescribed glasses can help individuals with myopia see more clearly and comfortably. Myopia tends to progress over time, especially during childhood and adolescence. The progression of myopia is influenced by various factors, including genetics and environmental factors. While wearing glasses doesn't cause myopia to worsen, it's important to ensure that you have regular eye examinations to monitor your vision and prescription. Additionally, certain interventions like orthokeratology or specific types of contact lenses may be considered to slow down the progression of myopia in some cases. It's essential to consult with an eye care professional for guidance and recommendations tailored to your specific situation.

not wearing glasses when required can actually have a very negative impact on the eyesight. so, if your child has been asked to wear prescription glasses, it is important to do so immediately. wearing the prescribed glasses will actually help to delay the progression and will stop the condition from getting worse.

I read this somewhere before. Couldnt recall the exact article. Short answer - NO. You very well could become more myopic, but that wouldn't be from not wearing glasses. It is possible to get headaches and/or eye strain from uncorrected myopia. Have you seen a eye specialist?
