Is Wearing Prescription Glasses Necessary For Power In Eye?
Hi, I was advised to wear glasses (power was 0.5 and 0.75) when I was 7 years old. I didnt wear regularly and also after few days I stopped using the glasses. And now in my 30th age, I just visited an opthalmologist and I was advised to wear glasses as the power is 2 and ...Please advise me for whether it is important to wear glasses or it is dangerous that the power may increase if i dont wear glasses.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error from childhood.
It is necessary to wear the correction to prevent eye strain and increase in the refractive error.
Since you have not worn the glasses the power has increased.
Hence I advice you to use spectacles regularly.
Thank you
