What are some effects of getting new glasses?

Question

I've recently been having trouble reading and the local Target eyeplace said I need glasses for everything. However, to me, the only thing I have trouble with is reading and close-work. So I suggested this to my dad and he gave me his reading glasses. ALL OF THIS ASIDE, what are teh effects of getting new glasses that have actually been prescribed properly (unlike me)? And secondly, how long should I stick with these reading glasses to realize that they're no good or that I need to change?

Answer 1

the effects? um, you'll have better vision. =D loads of people have glasses they only use for reading. if you continue to wear glasses that aren't prescribed for your vision problems you'll actually make your eyes worse. so. i'd suggest going to get your eyes checked and getting the correct prescription. trust me, when i first got glasses i thought i only needed them for reading too. as it turns out my eyes were terrible and once i got glasses everything looked so much better. also, if you don't like wearing glasses contacts are a great alternative. hope this helped!
