Q: I am a 23 years old male. Do I need to wear glasses for cylindrical eye power of 0.75 to 1.25? Can I wear glasses only while concentrating on something like watching TV or reading books or all the time?

A:Wearing this much power should make you see things clearly and without eye strain. If you can manage to see whatever you need to see and without headaches, then you don't have to wear glasses all the time. Wearing glasses does not make your eyes better or worse if you don't wear them, it only helps you to see better and prevent eye strain & headache. However, it is very important for children to wear correct prescription glasses up to about 10 years of age as their vision and brain cells responsible for it are still developing.
