👓 Myth or Fact? Do Glasses Increase Your Eye Number?
❌ MYTH: Wearing glasses makes your eye power increase.
✅ FACT: Wearing the correct glasses does not increase your eye number.
Many people believe that once they start wearing spectacles, their eye power keeps increasing because of the glasses. This is not true. Glasses simply help focus light correctly on the retina, giving you clear and comfortable vision. They do not weaken your eyes or make your spectacle number increase.
Changes in your eye power usually occur due to natural eye growth, age, genetics, or conditions like myopia—not because you wear your glasses. In fact, avoiding the prescribed spectacles can lead to eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, and reduced visual comfort.
If your vision seems to be changing frequently, don't ignore it. A comprehensive eye examination can identify the cause and ensure your prescription is accurate.
Trust facts, not myths. Protect your vision with regular eye check-ups.
