Once I wore glasses less so I got used to it. I can still see pretty well except letters. But when I wear my glasses more and remove them I notice how much of a difference it makes. It makes me feel like my eye sight is bad
It's because your eyes are relaxed when you wear glasses and your eyes aren't constantly being strained to make you see well as much as possible
you are saying you can see things like movement, distinguish color well, and have great peripheral vision, but you just cannot read from afar. Is that what you mean?
@@johnx-dr4zs yes 👍
@@be_luna I have the same condition too. So did your eyesight improve once you stopped wearing your glasses?
@@johnx-dr4zs surprisingly my vision has remained close to the same I believe the eye doctor said it improved a bit on one eye. I tend to relax my eyes to not put any strain in them in case that could make my vision worse
I think I have read on this subject for a long time, and I know for a fact that wearing glasses extensively does not give your eyes a chance to improve your vision naturally. This applies to everything we do. If you are the type of person that drives everywhere, and never walks, walking a half a mile to the corner store and back may seem like an impossible task, because your dependency on your vehicle makes you lazy and unable to function without it. I was prescribed glasses at at age 10 and I refused to wear them. I am glad I did, as my vision improved over time. Do the research, there is plenty of study material on this subject, once you introduce an artificial gadget or instrument to the body, the natural instinct for the body to perform at high performance in order to get maximum out put is reduced significantly. This applies to everything, from using the stairs as compared to using an elevator and many other every day body functions.
hey need some advice, what you’ve said is really quite interesting! i’ve just been prescribed glasses today (after having finally visited the optometrist after 7 years!! i’m 16 now). the last time i wore glasses was when i was 9 and i went to check my eyesight after having troubles with reading the board at school. i’ve got myopia (0.75 on right eye and 0.25 on left eye) and since i haven’t been wearing glasses for a long time and the way my prescription works, the optometrist recommend me to wear my glasses all the time! i was wondering whether to follow this advice as on one hand i don’t want to make my eyes completely dependant on the specs as i feel that my vision w/o isn’t bad, just sometimes really small text from a distance is hard to focus and decipher, but on the other hand will not wearing my glasses all the time as advised to worsen my vision? i’m a student so inevitably my screen time is extremely high (7-9 hours/day). thank you in advance and i hope you’re doing well!

Wearing a strong minus = your naked eye vision getting worse, rapidly.
Great logic 👍🙏
@@nabibibae4561 that's basically my situation now
Guys, in conclusion? Should i wear my prescription glasses or not?
I guess glasses will really never cure your poor eyesight. Coz if it does, you shouldn't be increasing your grade each year or more. Just my situation 🤷
no... they don't
in the end u gonna need lasik or icl
Spot on! They don't. Google "lens induced myopia"and then look up "EndMyopia".
The power will remain constant if you don't try to go without them.... I tried it, paid the price! If you've a strong prescription, it's suggested and actually recommended to wear them all the time, especially cases of astigmatism or whatever....
@@dontshowinterestinmyname9542NO DONnT GET LASIK PROPLE LITERALLY DIED FROM THAT IT JUST MUTILATED YOUR CONERNEA INTO A PERMANENT MINUS LENS AND SYMPTOMS MAKS IT AND GIVES YOU LENS INDUCED MYOPIA AND ALL RVEN MORE, PLUS YOU GET CRIPPLING DRY EYE, STARBURSTS, HALOS, PAIN, ETC
Yeah exactly they actually make it worse unless you only wear then for distance. But if you reduce your distance ones and do active focusing, you can see better
High myopes just wear way weaker glasses for closeup
PURE SCIENCE:
Put a minus lens on the normal eye , and it becomes myopic.
PURE MEDICINE:
Denys everything.
So wearing minus lens all the time is bad if you are nearsighted?
@@rayanaltowayan9558 -
If you are slight nearsighted.
@@otiebrown9999 so can we wear minus lens only for seeing distant things and remove it when we are seeing something close?
@@RohitVerma-iw4qj yes, otherwise you will get a lot more "hyperopic defocus" which would make your eyes grow longer faster. If you have more myopia you might need a weaker pair if you cannot see comfortably to the computer screen (you shouldn't be closer than like 70cm). If you feel like you need to be closer because things are too small on the screen, just increase the scaling (assuming Windows) to like 125% or even 150%.
The eyes adapt to the stimulus you give them and is gradual. There are more things you can do but would probably be too overwhelming right now.
I wish someone could've told me 26 years ago when I got my first pair: "do not use your full correction glasses up close!" and "you only have a muscle spasm inside the eye called the ciliary, get outside more and look into the distance to relax it and you shouldn't need glasses! (only true at the very early stage, if your eyes already have elongated this won't be enough anymore)".
@@tywald bro I am just beginner got my spex yesterday only can you please suggest what to do ? Maybe your help means a lot to me ❤️ ! Plz tell ?
Was worried that if I stopped wearing glasses I would go full blind. I am legally blind and see everything with a blur
Same
Same I’m only 12
@@randomcreations4507 same and I am seriously blurred and now I regret on watching phone a lot. And now I tried to fix it :(
@@reinasshe_5389 same here i’m 14 y olds and i kid you not i can’t see peoples faces from far away i’m scared to go legally blind well why my eyes are this bad is cuz i used to go a lot on my computer when i was younger somewhere when i was 8 or 10 smth i used to go like a lot on my computer which is the reason i have bad eye vision and i regret it a lot :(
@@xzthls4613 do you wear your prescription glasses all the time or no?
The eye is a muscle. The ear is not. Train your muscles
You've got a point there 🤔
This video is wrong lol
endmyopia.
@@TheRealMartingrfrfr I did rhat and my vision is so much better. But we don’t talk of Jake and his “Endmyopia business” anymore. We just refer to NottNott and reduced lens
Nah You’re fine it’s an old comment I’m just updating you if you haven’t heard already in the past 2 months. Sorry if you already knew. And even for ears, if it’s too loud either in general or because of the hearing aids, then your ears will get worse.
@@nabranestwistypuzzler7019nott i talked to him
Glasses change the way light hits your retina. Hyperopic defocus occurs when we use minus lenses for close up. This is a compensatory process that elongates the eyeball thus creating worsening eyesight. This is why our eyes get worse when we go for eye exams/check ups.
for people who is nearsighted, looking things close by is clear, image is at the retina, without minus glasses. in that case, wearing minus glasses seems to put the image behind the retina (hyperoptic defocus), would that trigger the eye to elongate further. Hope some OD can explain this is not the case. so far no OD can provide a good explanation.
@@tango9944 sir if I don't wear my glasses all the time would I go blind?
@@dipplayz9392 no definitely not in some cases it improves your eyesight
@@MilanChandra in my case I am myopic
@@varunyadav7016 only -8 in your left eye? Try -11
This video is wrong on almost every point, including the hearing aid analogy.
How's it wrong? Elaborate.... In any case, I know this: Not wearing glasses while having a strong prescription would worsen eyesight!
He’s right, 5 yrs without wearing my glasses resulted in -4 eyesight when I use to have -2 all mr life and I’m In my Mid forties, plus my astigmatism got worse. Wear ur glasses ppl
I agree. I just got my first pair of reading glasses and I have a bit of astigmatism. I didn't realize that without the glasses, I was putting too much strain on my eyes. My glasses really take the edge off, and I feel so much better.
Nah that’s Because of your age.
Rick roll online class first then destroy all gadgets.
The short answer is YES
Not sure if I agree to that. When I removed my glasses after few hours of wearing them, I could see a specific sized text less clearly that I was seeing before wearing them.
Additionally, my friend also told me that now he can no longer read some texts that he was able to read. He is now wearing glasses for some years now. So I'm gonna saw that it's not such a great option, atleast in my case
So does it mean that wearing - 2.5 when you only need - 2.0 does not affect your eyes
I have same question 😁
If we were glasses then what is best for our eye that is continues wearing or not wearing continues that is wearing some time and not wearing regularly
Makes vision worse.
@@armandoh9766 Do you ate something like carrot, spinach,etc. Now what is the power of your eyes?
@@armandoh9766 what is your eye prescription now? Did you do any kind of eye exercise?
I imagine using a hearing aid all day long on max volume play a loud music could damage the ear...
Well, a hearing aid works by amplifying sound, and loud sounds damage ears, so I would be a little worried that hearing aids will damage my ears further over time. Please provide another example.
Thankyou form India
Wearing your glasses all day can cause headaches.
NO! It's the other way around..... Wearing glasses all the time= less headaches and issues, from my experience and in general 😊
I had a power of -3.75 D for almost ten years and never in the meantime experienced blurriness of vision, but recently when i had my eye checkup, it came out to be -4.00 D and cylindrical power of -0.75D in both eyes but with the new prescribed glasses it is becoming difficult for me to adjust, eyes become tired. so, i immediately swap with old pair of glasses, will it be a problem if i don't switch to new pair of glasses and continue using old pair of lens and secondly will swapping between two powers have any adverse effect on eyesight ?
The comparison doesn't make any sense. Eyes use muscles, ears don't. So the comparison should be something like... should I drive my car less and walk more so my legs don't get weaker?
One should not wear glases full time
I am farsighted and at the age of 12 my eyesight went from +7,5 to 6,5 and now i am 14 and i feel like my vision is a bit better. I am starting to see better day after day. I checked my vision today and from 2 years it went down from +6,5 to + 5. I got so happy but then my doctor said that it also was a bad thing because i could get near sighted. I use my phone myuch and i am also focusing my eyes on near things very much. Does that make my vision better because i am farsighted and is it really possible that i am going to become nearsighted? Btw my docote toöd me that farsighness often gets better with time because the eye gets bigger with time and those who are farsigighted has small eye. Sorry for bad english tho, If anyone can answer the questions, i will be more than happy
how did you reduce your eye power? im 14 and my eye power is 750,650. im trying to reduce my eye power. pls reply!
@@tekkyballerR mee too
Yeah eventually you could become nearsighted in a long time. But right now, just stick to what you’re doing. Once you get to emmetropia and then you start to become a little myopic, just lay off on the phone use to balance it out
Also, if you ever have to do something far away with distance vision, just wear weaker glasses so that you can still train your eyes to get used to having a waker plus lens on and become less farsighted. So if you can see your phone clearly at 50cm with +4, then just hold it at 49cm, then 48, etc until it gets clear way closer and reduce again. But in the meantime, you’ll only need maybe a +2.5 for distance, and then just wear that for distance so you can keep your gains and maybe still make it better.
@@nabranestwistypuzzler7019bro i am having -3.50 on right eye and -4.75 on left so should i wear spectacles all the time or only when required?
Thank you very much!
I don't have any eyes problem but i bought a glass and i felt like my naked Vision is better than my vision wearing glass . What should I do?
Please don't wear specs without prescription.it will worsen your vision
Please don't wear specs without seeing a doctor.it will worsen your vision
Use pres glass only if needed
@@sonaelizebathreji7263 I have perfect eyesight😍& I never wear any kind of glasses😳👁👁. But, I like to see glasses on other people, women especially. In MY naked eyes👀😇, women look better with glasses!
OMG LMAO, You wore a set of prescription glasses without needing one????????? What????? On what prescription??? It doesn't make sense, no offense! But If you've perfect Vision without glasses, only way to experience glasses as a fashion statement is to wear those blue light configured glasses!
So my glasses dont really correct my vision?
Yes it don’t
They quick fix it.
Guys i really need help. Actually i didn't have any vision prob, it was all fine but just because i have to take 6 to 7 hrs classes + extra study time onscreen my eyes started getting really dry and i got headache and my forehead started feeling sore so my local optical store made me buy .5 further vision glasses. As i wore it the whole day I realised maybe my eyes have no problem maybe it will make it worse. Should i continue wearing them or not ??? It did feel like it didn't hurt the whole day but maybe that's just because the pain shifted to my eyes adjusting to the lence?? Please someone reply
Bro me have same problem
What will happen if we wear glasses with greater cyc than ours…?
Sir is it is bad to wear glasses all the time or not?
@@TrainOnTheWater is endmyopia helpful
Yes
Should I stop wearing my old prescription glasses until my new prescription glasses come in? I feel like they're doing me no good while I'm waiting. I can tell you this I've been feeling a little bit sluggish and tired from the vision that I'm getting through my old prescriptions can anyone help me about this?
I needed a new prescription for my eyes. I'm starting to experience with my old glasses is it's not making it any worse but it's not better that's why I went to see the doctor about my eyes should I stop wearing my old prescription glasses and wait till my new ones come in ? I feel like it's messing with my reality wearing my old prescription glasses I believe it's making me really tired
I had 20/40 and stopped wearing the glasses in 3 years I have 20/30 and I’m 51 years old. Should have 20/20 in 2 years. I’m not a doctor it’s just my experience everyone is different.
I was wearing 2.5no size glasses from the age of 5 but one day near the age of 19 I left wearing glasses and now I am 31 my eyesight is same but when ever I try to wear same no. glasses my head and eyes start paining
i think this is cause your eyes need to adjust to your glasses again just like how it happened to me when i first got glasses but it should be gone in 1-3 days.
@@mularmachine4688NO DON’T DO THAT JUST GET WEAJER GLASSES BECAUSE IF YOU DO THAT, YOU’LL MAKE YOUR EYES WORSE
Basically glasses don't make ur vision bad and u won't go blind if u don't wear em
If you don't wear them with a strong prescription and therein, strain your eyes, eyesight will get worse and Power will get higher. Talking from experience and never doing that again!
@@davedarius7346yeah obviously that’s why you do reduced lens not no lens. Like even just a -0.25 reduction for norms (distance sports goggles/glasses) is enough. For closeup differentials, just reduce enough where your screen is slightly blurry and you’re able to clear it up
For low myopes or maybe kind of mid depending on screen distance, you only need them for distance and nothing for closeup. For very low myopes, you shouldn’t be wearing them much at all even for distance.
And also minus lenses work by putting the light further back in the eye and you get hyperopic defocus and lens induced myopia. If you only wear them for distance and get ones that wre a little weaker to give eoom for improvement, and rhen hold uour ohone past your blur horizon in way weaker (high myopia) or no glasses for closeup, or just do less closeup, then you’ll be fine and actually improve your vision especially if you try seeing further on purpose.
Also, if you have a ciliary spasm/pseudomyopia, that goes away faster.
Watch NottNott on youTube and read up on the reduced lens method/wiki and join the discord for more info and people to talk to who do the same thing
Just got a new prescription. I feel that the prescription might be too strong because I feel a lot of strain in my eyes. So if I keep wearing them that should be my vision that I should have but it doesn't feel natural it feels like it's my eyes are over working does that take time and once I adapt am I going to become dependent on that prescription?
Finally a good video, phew.
I have sqint eyes and doctor recommend to wear glasses.what should i do?should i wear glasses continuously or when i needed? Tell me an opinion
just wear them if you need them to see for something like driving and never ever wear them for near work
What a load of bs. I have reduced my myopia by wearing lower prescription glasses
BS
End myopia broo
