I need an honest opinion., On glasses. Options

[Wishful_Dream]

Okay.. so far, my family told me that if you wear glasses 24/7 it is bad for you. But then, some of my friends told me if you don't wear glasses it'll make your eyes worst. A few of my other friends agreed with my family... x.x so what do you think? please state why.. I really want to know why..

edit:

no.. i need glasses.. but i can still see without them.. it's just a little blurry.. =/ i wore my glasses to sleep once.. lols =x

[bad_girl]

um. u shouldn't wear glasses if u dont need them. lol. otherwise, it helps ur eyes, right? or else u wouldn't be able to see anywhere u go or anything at all. maybe contact lens help. but i dont think glasses are bad for ur eyes...

[rustedxemotions]

I am really not sure. I wear my glasses 24/7. I think it`d be better if you took off the glasses if you aren`t really focusing on something really hard, just playing outside or hanging out, you know? But if it`s school or something like that, I think they should stay on. Plus, if you take them off and on too much, you can get a headache. I could ask my grandpa, though, he`s an optimitrist. I`ll get back to you on that.

lasik eye surgery...or get black rimmed glasses.

[xAznBabeeGurlx]

I really think that you shouldn't wear glasses 24/7 unless you really need them. Cause having them on all the time can get your eyes really tired, that's wat my mom says. But if you need to wear them you should wear them cause we don't want you crashing into walls or anything.

[jaeman]

Yeah, I agree with most of the statements people mentioned before. I think people should wear glasses only when needed, and that they shouldn't be worn every hour of every day of the year. Then again, if it's necessary to wear glasses everyday, then you should do it because you wouldn't want to get hurt. It just really depends on how much you need the glasses to see.

[whomps]

Well who the heck where's their glasses 24/7? You need to sleep.. and NOBODY I mean nobody sleeps with their glasses on.

Glasses are hot.. But anyways. People should only where glasses if they need it. Why would you wear glasses if they were of no use to you? So yeah. Cough.

[iheartsimba]

if you keep wearing them..your vision will be worse..and youll need to keep getting a higher prescription..

thats why i plan on getting lasic someday

[misoshiru]

i wear glasses...cuz i need to. i usually wear contacts, but if not, i wear glasses everywhere except for when i sleep or shower.

it's ok, but as iheartsimba mentioned, if you wear them too much, your vision will become worse. but also, if you dont wear them enough, or strain your eyes to see, then your vision will become worse as well.

[toodlepops.]

you wear glasses to sleep? stop it.

[DaTru KataLYST]

those kewl nike ones!! where you can bend the metal!! 300 bucks mang


hm well u shouldn't wear it 24/7. i use the 20/20/20 system. wear them for 20 minutes, take it off and stare at something that's 20 feet away for 20 seconds, and put em back on! yay!

[lakerfever2476]

I wear them almost all the time. My optometrist said my condition only worsened by a tiny little tinee weenie bit. But my glasses are for distance. I don't wear them when I'm reading a book, swimming *duh*, or when I'm on the computer. Because you shouldn't use your glasses for a different purpose. Whenever I wear my glasses when I'm focusing something close, I get all high and lightheaded. HAHA .. I have black rimmed glasses from Esprit .. BLACK RIMMED GLASSES KICK ASS! :D

[miss barnes]

i wear mine all the time because i cant see shit without them. i used to sleep in my contacts because i was too lazy to take them out

[rememberme]

They supposed to help. Some people wear them, and they strengthen their eyes back. Some wear them, and they get used to them, makeing them need a stronger prescription.

[*stephinika*]

well if you need them, then wear them. its only bad for you if you don't have the right prescription.

[clarissa]

i have glasses but i can see perfectly fine without them.. i just wear them when i'm on the computer 'cause that's when i need it most.

[sunissed14127]

Dont wear glasses if you dont need them. that can mess up your vision. But if you need glasses, wear them.

[shortiiex]

i wear glasses 24/7...except when i sleep...i have very bad vision
and i am not allowed to wear contacts b/c the docters say i am too young

[alone in the wor...]

if your prescribed glasses by your doctor, wear them to what he stated. for instance, reading - farsighted - nearsighted. if you dont, and you squint often your straining your eyes.

[heyyfrankie]

i think that if you need glasses, than you should be able to wear them all the time! but i really don't know! i guess you could just get contacts!

[lovescream]

Wearing glasses too much can make your eyesight worse. Actually, it's not can, it will. You can wear glasses only for emergencies, whenever you can't see. Sometimes when you're not wearing glasses, it doesnt effect your eyesight unless you're trying to see, like squinting etc.

[love-issosweet]

i have REALLY BAD VISION meaning i can't see far away but i only wear my glasses it if i can't see the board

Don't wear it 24/7...it'll just make your eyes tired

[urbanychic]

your doctor will tell you when you should wear your glasses and how often. Wearing them for to long can strain your eyes (and wearing contacts can dry them) but it won't damage them. Your eyes go through a lot of damage before it really takes an effect, same with your skin. Just don't wear a high prescription for your eyes WILL get adjusted to it and that can cause problems and I suggest wearing sunglasses outside ... but that's only because i'm ocd when it comes to keeping my skin beautiful for as long as possible.. lol yea im a freak. but yea, talk to your doctor about all these concerns, he/she is the best person for that anyways.

[sweetdreamsx3]

If you need glasses, wear it. Use it.

If you don't, you're going to have to squich (sp?) your eyes and after doing that for the entire day, it's going to be a bitch.

[*xcaitlinx*]

i somewhat agree with both of them. i mean, if you wear them all the time...like at night as well as in school...then your eyes might get tired and be in worse condition then they were. on the flip side, if u dont wear them...then ur eyes will b bad too. lol

[chippy]

i dont think that if u wear it too much itll b bad for u but if thats's the case then i guess itll be so cuz ur eyesgt dependant on them...sorta like an addiction. o and i think glasses are a pain in the ass i have to wear 'em

[*jooleeah*]

You shouldn't wear glasses 24/7 if your vision isn't THAT bad. But your vision will get worse, whether or not you wear them >< kind of sucks, you know? If your vision isn't bad, then just wear glasses when you need them. When you don't, just put them away in a case and carry it with you or something. That's what I used to do =D

[Joanne]

i heard from a doctor that if you are near sighted and you dun wear glasses, they'll get worse. if you DO wear glasses, they'll stay the same and prob wont get worse. but yeah if your eyes arent THAT bad i dun think you hafta wear glasses 24/7.

[gigiopolis]

Whether or not your wear glasses, your eyesight is still deteriorating. The thing that can slow it down, or pause it, are contact lenses. It's proven that after getting contacts, the degrees of your eyesight will stop increasing. Glasses make you able to see, they don't have any preventative characteristics.

[angel-roh]

Um, both of the people who told you is wrong.

You can wear them during your sleeping process.
You don't need to wear your eye glasses 24/7, but you can wear an eye contact lens instead.

[weirdness]

when i first got glasses i was wearing them 24/7 cept when i was sleeping, then my vision got worse.
i think you should wear them when you need to and bring them around in a case. :)
my vision's too bad to do that anymore, without my glasses im almost blind x_X

[EmmalieV]

wear contacts glasses dent ur nose.

[gelionie]

If you need to wear glasses, wear them (except when you're sleeping of course). It's not good for your eyes if you don't wear them when you're supposed to. It strains your eyes.
