If I do not wear spectacles for an hour,will it increase my eye power?
Patient's Query
Hello Doctor,
If I do not wear spectacles for an hour everyday, will it increase my eye power or damage my eyes?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I reviewed your history.
- Ideally speaking spectacles should be worn always.
- However, not wearing spectacles for one hour will not cause much increase in eye power. Hence no need to worry.
- But make sure you do not forget to wear your spectacles and do not strain your eyes hereafter.
- Usually the refractive error increases till 21 years of age and after this it will not increase as the growth of eye ball stops by 21 years.
