Do glasses make your vision better?

As an optometrist with over a decade of experience in vision correction, I can provide some insights into the role of glasses in improving vision. Glasses are designed to correct various vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision), and astigmatism (irregular curvature of the eye). When you wear glasses, they align the light entering your eyes so that it focuses correctly on the retina, which can make your vision appear clearer and sharper. However, it's important to clarify that glasses do not make your eyes dependent on them. The concept of dependency is a bit of a myth. What might happen is that once you've experienced clear vision with glasses, you may prefer to wear them because they significantly improve your quality of life by allowing you to see more effectively. Your eyes are not physically altered by the glasses; rather, you become accustomed to the improved vision they provide. In summary, glasses correct blurry vision by adjusting how light is focused on the retina, and while they can become an essential tool for clear sight, they do not fundamentally change the structure of your eyes or make them dependent on the glasses.

Wearing glasses makes your eyes dependent on them. Eyeglasses correct blurry vision. You may want to wear your glasses more often so that you can see clearly, but your glasses aren't changing your eyes so that they become dependent on your eyeglasses. You're just getting used to seeing things more clearly.
