 Yes it’s true. I resisted wearing glasses my entire life. When I finally started wearing them in my late twenties my eyes got weaker when not using the glasses. That said sometimes you need the glasses. I’m pretty sure 90% of the reason I was such a bad student was because I had no idea what the white board said lol 😂 
 hahahaha yeah ok. Shit. 

Am newish to team glasses, and can already notice a strong bias to running them fulltime instead of just for reading as intended. 
 I had glasses for a few months until I scratched them up too much and stopped wearing them. One thing I noticed, being a night owl who likes reading, is my headaches from squinting to read went away. Once I gave up on my specs I started accepting I needed to relax my eyes and read the slightly blurry words to avoid headaches. I never experienced the further deterioration mentioned above, but perhaps I’m a boiled frog and just don’t notice it. 😅 
 Currently youtubing eye exercises 😂
