Can eye glasses cause eye strain and burning dry eyes?

Question

I am curious about this because when ever i take my glasses off my eyes feel more relaxed and better.

Answer 1

Your symptoms are usually a sign that your prescription is too strong..sounds like you need to have that checked out again.

Answer 2

Artificial corrections(glasses, contacts, lasik) do not take away strain, they only change it into a less painful form and is often ignored because clarity has been reached.

Often times taking off artificial corrections when clarity is not needed can be restful. Artists often take glasses off to see their work better and get a better prospective.

Sometimes prescriptions can be bad. It might be good to have vision checked again.
