glasses

are eye glasses to strong.
i have just got reading glasses. my far sight is perfect, but after wearing reading glasses for just a very short time(minute) . my eyes struggle to focus when i remove them. this would seem to me my reading glasses are pulling my eye muscles far to much and must be far to strong.
IS this why people who have eye glasses for everyday wear end up with a certain look when they take them off. surely glasses should be at just the right power so as not to effect your eyes when removed.

But glasses do effect your eyes, that is the point of them. (unless you wear skinny jeans and have a bouffant hairstyle)

what certain look do they have?

but should they distort your eye muscles so much that it effects your eyes ability to focus without them when you could do so normally.
are they making the lenses stronger than they need to be. surely lenses should just help the light rays focus on the correct part of eye, no need for muscles ineye to move at all.but it seems to me the eye is trying to correct what the lens is doing,therefore straining the muscles of eye to far.

oh come on , you can always tell someone who wears eye glasses,when they are not wearing them. my own daughter has just got glasses for everyday use,had them about a month and straight away when she takes them off we notice a different look around her eyes

Its an industry. Once you start wearing glasses they'll try and nab you for life. My old job made everyone take an eye test and recommended glasses for lots of staff including me. I refused to take them and 12 years on my eyesight is no different. Whereas those who took the advice have now worse eyesight and will need glasses for life.

my point exactly. i can read without glasses just in morning my eyes take longer to focus.small print is a no no..but when i wear my glasses after i take them off my eyes are worse for ages.

The affect and effect thing will surely be tested in this thread.

did you go to an optician or just buy them from a corner shop?

as people age the muscles that pull the focus can't do their job as well due to the lens loosing elacticity.

I suppose if you wear reading glasses and don't need them then that muscle could get lazy and loose tone..... the optical equivelent of sitting infront of jeremy kyle......

anyway, if you DO need them, then get a proper prescription.

i did try the ones in the shop and found they were like magnifying glasses .. so i got a prescription and they are like magnifying glasses
as i said b4 when yur eyes are unable to focus the light rays on the retina..then the lenses should do this for them, your eyes should not need to try to focus. but they must do as so many people other than myself say glasses make there eyes worse. this was an immediate effect when i got my reading glasses( prescription) when i took my reading glasses off my eyes took a while to focus as my sight was blurred. this shouldnt in my opinion be so.

Well, there's a delicate corneal inversion procedure... a multi-opti-pupil-optomy. But, in order to keep from damaging the eye sockets, they've got to go in through the rectum.

Ain't no man going to take that route with me!
