Hi -- I'd like some input from opthamologists/neuroscientists/etc: for those with age related myopia (good vision in youth, far sightedness after 20s), I have heard two completely disparate sides to the question of whether to wear glasses more/less frequently: 1) Wearing corrective lenses ALL THE TIME maintains vision and stops the myopia from getting worse 2) Wearing glasses only when you need them most (seminars, movies, driving) keeps your vision from degenerating by exercising your eye muscles I dont need my glasses all the time, but wouldnt reject wearing them (or contacts) if this will slow the deterioration of my vision. What is the best way to wear lenses? Melanie Mahtani Genetics Department Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305
