Myths about Myopia

MYTH: Wearing someone else's glasses may damage your eyes.

TRUTH: Although you may not see very well with them, no harm can come from wearing eyeglasses that are not suitable for you.

MYTH: Wearing glasses all the time will make you rely on them so much that you will see poorly without them.

TRUTH: Wearing eyeglasses will never make your eyesight worse. Some eye problems worsen as you get older. Once you have enjoyed clear vision with glasses, it may seem that your eyesight is worse when 
you take them off.




MYTH: Using your eyes too much can wear them out.

TRUTH: Eyes are not like light bulbs! They can last your entire lifetime if they are healthy (or have conditions that can be treated). Their health has nothing to do with how long you use them.
