prescription or force the child to become more myopic (short-sighted).<\/p>\n<p>Lets look at each of these:<\/p>\n<h3><b>Reading glasses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Wearing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/optical\/guide-to-optical-lenses\/guide-to-bifocals-and-multifocals\/do-i-need-reading-glasses\/\">reading glasses<\/a> does not worsen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/optical\/guide-to-optical-lenses\/guide-to-bifocals-and-multifocals\/presbyopia\/\">presbyopia<\/a>, or age-related farsightedness.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Some people believe that wearing glasses causes muscle atrophy around the eyes, and that pushing your eyes to focus without glasses, or with a lower prescription than you require, can prevent refractive problems from worsening.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that this is an inaccurate association, the misunderstanding makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>The natural lens of the eye can change shape to modify the amount of light that reaches the retina, and the shape of the lens is influenced by zonules, which are flexing ligaments.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tempting to imagine that working out these lens zonules and ciliary muscles around your eyes can help you see better for longer, but this isn&#8217;t the case.<\/p>\n<p>Permanent alterations in the lens shape have a bigger impact on visual acuity, and exercising these muscles will not be able to reshape the lens sufficiently to see properly.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Myopia<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Children wearing the wrong prescription have shown to cause an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/guide-to-pediatric-eye-conditions\/what-is-myopia\/why-is-my-childs-myopia-worsening\/\">increase in myopia<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Research clearly shows that children who do not have adequate corrective wear, might increase the progression of myopia, if they are forced to squint at distant objects.<\/p>\n<p>A child\u2019s myopia will increase over time, based mainly on genetics and environmental factors. A child\u2019s refractive error does not worsen whether they wear glasses or contact lenses, but could worsen without wearing the correct prescription.<\/p>\n<p>If a child\u2019s myopia is worsening, a treatment program known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-myopia-management\/\">Myopia Management<\/a> might be the solution.<\/p>\n<p><b>LEARN MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/optical\/\">Optical and Contact Lenses<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\">Schedule an appointment with an eye doctor near you<\/a> to make sure your and your child\u2019s prescription is up-to-date.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Over half of all people need eyeglasses to see clearly. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Don\u2019t worry wearing glasses will not weaken your eyes. <\/i><i>But, wearing the wrong prescription could be more detrimental to your vision and significantly impact your life.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to The Vision Council, about 75% of all people use some sort of vision correction.
