yes because your eyes have to strain themselves to see

It is not so important how you feel without your glasses on but how your eyes feel with your glasses on.\nDepending on the reason for your need of glasses to begin with may explain why you are experiencing what you describe.\nYour glasses are probably getting your vision in order and when you take the glasses off you are probably experiencing the actual problem that was the cause for your need for glasses.\nYou never noticed it before you got your glasses,you were use to the way your eyes felt and how you were seeing.\nThe headaches are probably caused by the fact that your vision isn't being corrected when you take your glasses off and your eyes are trying on their own to correct themselves to the proper "alignment" as prompted by the glasses.\nYou can take your glasses back and have them read to see if the prescription is correct but I betcha it is and all of this is your getting use to better vision and getting adjusted to it.

Pretty bad.  It would be illegal for you to drive without your glasses.  You cannot see the signs on the highway unless you are just yards away.....\n\n-5 diapteras is pretty bad, fella.

You know you need glasses when you start seeing things in a blur. Or you start getting heachaches if you read to much.\n\nOnly the optican can give you a diffinite answer though

It depends.  If you are nearsighted, glasses can make your eyes look smaller.  (The more nearsighted, the smaller the lenses make your eyes look.)  If you're farsighted, the glasses can make your eyes look bigger (like a magnifying glass).

No. You may see a distorted image, but it is not what the person themselves see without glasses.\n\nI'm high-myopic, -9 to -10, and people would look through my glasses and say "wow, do you really see like that?"\n\nI'd have to tell them "no. That's the correction to my vision, not the way I see without glasses."\n\nOne day, by accident, I found common lenses that would let me show other people what my uncorrected vision was like. I picked up a double pocket magnifying glass. It had two ordinary magnifying lenses in it that could be swung out one at a time or both at once to increase magnification. With both lenses out, while I was wearing my glasses, I looked through the magnifiers at a distant wall. I realized that what I was seeing was the same as I would see without any glasses at all! \n\nSince then I've had a way to show people roughly what I see like without glasses. For extreme nearsightedness, put two standard magnifying glasses together and hold them to one eye about where normal eyeglasses would sit and look at something distant. If you're vision is in the normal range, you'll approximate my uncorrected vision.\n\nIn general, I believe, if you want to know what it is like to see what another sees *without* their glasses, and your vision is withing normal limits, you would need another pair of glasses made to the *opposite* prescription. Theirs corrects the prescribed amount, your vision would have to be distorted that same amount.\n\nMy trick wouldn't show you how someone farsighted sees. You'd need a different type of lens. In general, correction for nearsightedness like I've got is done with lenses that make distant objects smaller and darker. Correction for people with farsightedness is accomplished with lenses that are more like magnifying lenses.\n\nThis doesn't even deal with other problems with the eye, such as astigmatism or presbyopia.\n\nThere's one plus to my vision that most people don't realize -- when I take my glasses off, I see magnified up to a distance of about four inches. I can literally read engraving on the head of a pin.\n\nThen there's what Spider Robinson said: "People with glasses are lucky. We can see stars on rainy nights."

I'm not quite sure but of course, droopy eyelids can definitely occlude some part of your vision.

It's good to rest your eyes--at least try to take them out in the evenings.  I don't think it makes your vision worse, but it can affect your eye health as far as the cornea and infections etc. I haven't heard of the Renu problem, but there was a Bausch & Loumb recall.

You definitely need glasses to see well but it is nowhere near the worst.  My dad was -11 and Tiger Woods was -14.  Those are both legally blind.

The person who does not use glasses has an eye that is curved to focus light almost exactly on the retina.  The person who does use glasses has eyes that focus light either in front of or behind the retina, and the glasses change the focus of the system to coincide with the retina as in a person who does not require vision correction.

Depends.  Do you feel your eyes are expressive and can portray more confidence without being behind the glasses?  Or do you feel more intelligent and mature with the glasses?  I dont' know what you look like so I'm not really sure.

As I was told by the eye guy, "Worse".    I've worn glasses since the 8th grade, near sited.  I thought my eyes were getting better since I had to take them off to read or work on a tractor or Pickup.  Sorry///  but I need to go back again myself, due to I have to take my glasses off to read this screen

yes, squinting can actually progress the development of nearsightedness over a period of time by changing the shape of the eye.  even though it does ''help'' by clearing up vision, it does more damage in the long run.\n\nthere are vision exercises you can do that will reduce or overcome nearsightedness.  i used to see worse than 20/200, but now i see about 20/60, and when i want to, i can achieve 20/40 and sometimes that becomes 20/20.  if you wanna know more about the exercises, hit me up at phtokhos@yahoo.com.

If you need glasses, it means that your eyes are, in a way, mis-shapen. Your eye focuses light to the back of your eye.  It your eye is the right shape, the light will focus perfectly, allowing for perfect vision.  If your eye isn't shaped quite right, the light will not focus where it is supposed to, therefore causing blurred vision.  That is what glasses and contacts do, they bend light so that it hits your eye at the right spot.\nSome vision problems are hereditary, but you cannot hurt your vision by sitting too close to the tv!\n\nHere's just a couple of eye myths... http://www.midwesteyecare.com/SubSection/index.php?SectionID=7&SubSectionID=154&ParentID=61

You will develope a.n.a.l. glaucoma\nYou will not be able to see S.h.i.t.

Any eye doctor will tell you that pinhole glasses will not ultimately improve your vision.  Pinholes work by increasing your depth of focus, so yes, they do make it easier to see while you're wearing them.  However, while you're wearing them, you'll only be able to see out of a tiny little pinhole (not a good idea for driving).  Your best bet is to stick with regular glasses or contacts.

There isn't a solution for glasses and contacts besides surgery. \nGlasses were really annoying when I first got them 8 years ago, and they are still sometimes annoying..\nIn winters, the glasses get misty in winter when I go inside a building or when I try to drink tea/coffee (and when I am skiing..).\nOther than that, it's fine. I got used to it now, and it became part of me. In fact, it's more annoying to not be able to see anything than wearing glasses itself being annoying.\n\nDon't worry.. you will get used to it.
