    Is it a myth that wearing glasses makes your eyesight degrade faster? Something about making them reliant on the lenses and thus they become weaker?

      I have no sources to back this up but I’d say it’s a myth but with a tiny bit of misunderstood truth to it. When I got my lenses for astigmatism, it took a while to get used to them and not feel disoriented and I feel like its because my eyes had been so used to trying to work with the defect that it confused them when suddenly it was corrected.

      It took a month or so for my eyes to stop trying to correct the astigmatism on their own, but now if I switch back to my old lenses, the astigmatism is way worse because my eyes/brain aren’t applying their own corrections to it so it’s as if my eyes did get worse. So it’s sorta true but not really
