Is this true or a myth (details inside)?

Asked by imrainmaker (8380points) March 24th, 2017

If you are required to wear glasses for short-sightedness you should wear them throughout the day. Otherwise it may weaken your eyes if you take them off occasionally.Is it true or a myth? What is your experience?

I know short sighted people who don’t wear glasses at all. What they need most is a clue.

Myth. Like saying reading by a dim light will hurt your eyes.

Myth, but if you are still young there are benefits to wearing glasses full time, like increased development of depth perception.

I’ve heard the opposite, but I think neither rumor is true. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 9.
