As someone that had incredible eyesight all the way up until around 37 it hits differently. I've developed myopia and it sucks. I'm at the point that I now know I need to see an optometrist. I don't hate glasses nor am I concerned for that. It just sucks because I could see so well before. I could read fine print on small medicine bottles even if they were several feet away. I could read a licence plate from dozens of feet away. Humbled is the word. I called my wife four eyes WAY too many times. 😅 I mean... I love her though. It was just a joke. 😢

GUYS if youn wear your minus glasses when behind a screen your eyes will only get worse. Try sitting behid a screen without your glasses and less long. Another thing that is good to do is try to get glasses that are weaker than you need by 0,5 diopters and wear that. Gradually get weaker prescriptions until eyes see 20/20

[@St4rlightxm00nlight]

BUT THEN I CANT SEE (i tried having a weaker prescription than mine for like 4 months and all that happened was that i couldnt see properly in class)

My glasses is at a weaker prescription and has been for months and it doesn't do jack shit.

[@m1stern00by]

@@St4rlightxm00nlight Probably you got a subscription that was too weak. Get your eyes measured, substract 0,25 diopters and dont use farsight glasses for nearsight work just take them off. Now the most important part is STIMULUS here. Actually look at something that is slightly blurry and try to clear it up focusing. Just the act of trying this will get you better eyes. Also go outside and stop staring at your phone so much. Look at the damn world. I had to teach this myself aswell.
