Question

I wear glasses, but sometimes I don't wear them. Does that ruin your eyesight?

Answer 1

When someone needs eyeglasses, light is not focusing on the retina. Your eyeglass lenses provide the right curvature to bend light and bring it to a focus, giving you sharper vision. If you don't wear them you will not see as sharp, period. If this is acceptable to you, then by all means don't wear them. Your eyes will not get any worse for lack of wear.

Answer 2

No, it just strains your eyes and makes you tired more often.

It's better to wear them so you can relax your eyes.
