Should Myopia Wear Glasses?

For most people with myopia, eyeglasses are the primary choice for correction. Depending on the amount of myopia, you may only need to wear glasses for certain activities, like watching a movie or driving a car. Or, if you are very nearsighted, you may need to wear them all the time.

What happens if you have myopia and don't wear glasses?

When a young person who is nearsighted doesn't wear corrective glasses, they run the risk of their eyes becoming lazy. If the eyes work harder to focus on close-up objects, they are considered farsighted.

Do glasses help myopia?

Glasses for myopia help because they allow the light to reflect on the correct part of the retina. Glasses for myopia are often created with a concave (curved inwards) lens, which moves the focus of the light to help you see clearly. Single vision lenses are used to correct myopia.
