a question about using reading glasses...

[kraze]

it makes my vision a lot worse for the rest of the day after using them for a couple hours. the next morning, it's better, but after i use them again... the same continues. do reading glasses make your eyes worse?

do reading glasses make your eyes worse?

no, not per se. what happens is that your neural response adapts to this medium (your glasses) - once you remove them after a prolonged time your vision has to be recorrected (a natural response); given that glasses enhance/facilitate visual response directly for a while your eyes will expend more energy to attain or apprach same image quality since before they didn't have to try as hard.

They wont hurt your eyes, just make sure you are using the proper perscription.
