Re: Glasses on or off?


Dear Friend,

A professor of ophthamology stated that he himself,
takes the minus lens off for all close work

Judy> Otis will soon weigh in with different advice, ignore him.

Majoiry-opinion Judy recommends that you ignore the advice
of an ophthmologist, and wear your minus glasses all the time.

You can follow the advice of an optometrist or
an ophthamologist.

Hello,

I'm a 21 year old male, suffering from myopia and astigmatism. The
left lens prescription is -2.50 H, and the right one is -2.75 H+.

I've always removed my glasses when doing close-up work, such as
reading or studying (and still does) but lately I'm having difficulty
even seeing so close up.

My question: is it harmful for my eyes to do the close-up work with my
glasses on? I presupposed so, but I thought I would see what you guys
would say.

Think of it this way. With your glasses on, reading is exactly the
same as for people who don't wear glasses. You will accommodate and
converge, with your glasses on, in exactly the same manner as a non
glasses wearer. So is it harmful for the eyes of non glasses wearers
to read?

With your current prescription, anything further away than about 35cm
(16 inches) will be blurry without the glasses. So I'm not surprised
that you are noticing discomfort.

Otis will soon weigh in with different advice, ignore him.

Judy
