Wearing prescription eyeglasses weakens your natural eyesight

the verdict

REFUTED

the evidence says no

confidence 0/100

Scientific evidence clearly refutes the myth that wearing prescription eyeglasses weakens your natural eyesight. Clinical studies and trials consistently show that appropriate optical correction aids visual function and manages conditions like myopia without degrading natural visual capability.
