Wearing eyeglasses that are too strong or have the wrong prescription will damage the eyes

Myth: Wearing eyeglasses that are too strong or have the wrong prescription will damage the eyes.

Fact: Eyeglasses change the light rays that the eye receives. They do not change any part of the eye itself. Wearing glasses that are too strong or otherwise wrong for the eyes cannot harm an adult’s vision, although it might result in a temporary headache.
