Answer 1

eventually your eyes will get worse and worse and eventually you will either go blind or develop glaucoma which is a eye disease my suggestion is if your tired of wearing glasses get contacts

Answer 2

Glasses will only improve your vision when you are wearing them.  You will not go blind or get some type of eye disease if you do not wear them.  The worst of it will be eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision.

I suggest wearing your eyeglasses when you need them.  If you are nearsighted, then use them to see the board in class.  If you are farsighted, then use them for reading or while on the computer.  You may also want to discuss getting contact lenses with your parents if you are responsible enough to care for them.

I can speak from personal experience that not wearing your eyeglasses will not cause blindness or other eye diseases.  I was prescribed eyeglasses for my left eye when I was in my teens and did not start wearing them regularly until I was 30 years old.

Answer 3

you won't go blind, but your vision could get worse. your eye is made up of 6 muscles and prescription glasses help with not straining those muscles. you might not like to wear them, but they were prescribed to you for a reason. get a great frame with anti glare coating and i bet that you would love them.
