Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Does wearing an eyeglass for a long period of time for the sake of fashion will cause any eye problem or dependency in my life? I have purchased eyeglass from a reputed store. From my childhood, I do not have any eye problem.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Actually, it is one of the rare times that I find someone put glasses with no need for it, most of the people try to get rid of them by lenses or laser, this case makes sure my idea that eyeglasses sometimes add beauty to the person. However, while you put glasses which are called Plano (without any power) there is no problem at all unless you use sunglasses with the bad quality it causes some damage to eye because it enables more sun rays to go to the eye. So sunglasses (the good kind) no problem. Plano glasses no problem. It is as if you look through the window.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
