If you walk into a dark room from a lighted room it takes a small bit of time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Same with glasses, it seems worse when you first take them off because your eyes are re-adjusting to the difference. Most glasses are supposed to correct your eyesight and make them better by wearing glasses, however, if your eyesight is worsening on its own, then the correction will slow down the deteriation.

No Wearing glasses makes no difference. If your eyes are going to get better they will and if they are going to get worse they will. http://www.insider-guide-to-reading-glasses.com/reading-glasses-myths.html There has been some recent research that has shown that in young kids wearing the right strength glasses can slow down the rate of progression of myopia.

It did for my dad. he started wearing eyeglasses in his 40s. the prescriptions, over the years, gradually became stronger and stronger for his lenses. by the time he was 80, his glasses looked like the bottom of a soda bottle. very thick and very strong. If this is any indication, i say yes to your question. Its kind of like a prescription drug. the longer you take it, a higher dosage is required, to achieve the same results. Same for eyeglasses.

i dont know but i will tell you a story, when my bruv was little he was told he needed glasses, anyway he would never wear them and when he went back to the opticians for a check up they told him "you have been a good boy wearing your glasses, you dont need them anymore" did he ever need them in the first place?

I have many friends who had eye glasses in school but by the time they graduated from college, their glasses were gone. So it does help your eyes but they don't worsen your eyesight.

No, eyeglasses do not worsen sight over time. The blur interpretation is what changes. Once someone has become used to clear vision, vision without eyeglasses is not as clear, but it is not because the vision has become worse. It is because the brain can differentiate between vision with eyeglasses and vision without them.

YES! Because you get used to seeing through the glasses.

My sight has improved with each decade. Glasses have become optional for other than reading.

I guess it depends on the person, it probably doesn't make much of a difference. In my situation, glasses made my eyesight worse, I haven't worn glasses in three years, and I passed my drivers sight test without them, now my vision is nearly 20/20, I don't think that's normal though.

I think so. Although by wearing glasses its suppose to help you see, i think when one wears them all the time, they rely on them, hence your eyes are adjusted to that prescription. So, when you take your glasses off, everything becomes a blur and you can't see anything.

No wearing glasses / Contact lenses makes no difference to your eyesight getting worse, i believe that eye sight is very much a nature form its like people who require to wear hearing aids they dont get worse through wearing them the get worse through nature.
