That could also be your eyes being dry, since that's one of the most common side effects.

Do People Actually Not Wear Glasses Even When Doctors Recommend Them?

Random thought, but it should be required by law that if you are diagnosed and need to wear glasses, it says so on your driver's license. It should then be illegal to drive without glasses or contacts.
Not sure how that would work logistically though. Especially with contacts.

European licenses have this, but the only requirement is to have glasses available in your car, nothing about having to actually wear them
I'm nearsighted, so if I drove I'd have to wear them. Can't use computers/TVs/phones/etc. without my eyes getting strained if I don't wear them.
Only issue is that due to headaches/migraines stemming from a car accident, if I wear them for too long I'll get bad ones that last for a few hours at a minimum. Stress/allergies make it worse and/or easy to trigger.
Since my work field is computer-related, it's annoying having to schedule my time to do stuff around the headaches/migraines. >.>

It is illegal to drive without glasses if it's listed as a restriction on your driver's license.
99% of my day is sitting behind a desk at work or at a deck in my home office and i can see perfectly fine either way so i never wear them outside of driving and occasionally when i am out and about.
I guess it's just laziness. Been this way since i got glasses at like 14. I hate glasses and i hate contacts more.

I've been lucky that my eyes are just good enough to pass eye exams. I might have to do a few guesses on the smallest line on the tests, but still enough to pass. In school I always made sure to sit up front as well, or sometimes I couldn't see the board.
My sister had gotten glasses but never used them. I cant understand that people say "it's such a small correction".
Im taking meds which make my vision vary, and while this wouldnt make glasses recommended by docs it really irritates me not to see correctly/even gave me headache.
if I forget them it's not a big issue, but it still helps wearing them. I do not understand people avoiding to get more out of their life.

I have a pair of glasses around that I basically only wear when I go to sports games, when I have to see pretty far away. My vision is fine in the close and mid ranges, even the lady said most people like me don't even bother with glasses, but I wanted that extra range sometimes.
The first pair they gave me ended up being overcorrected and honestly it was awesome. It was like my vision became telescoped. I could see anything. Then the next year for a checkup I got prescribed new ones and they weren't as effective as the old ones, I went back and was like "there must have been a mistake, these aren't as helpful as the old ones!". Redid the tests and she was like nope, these are definitely the prescription you need, your old pair must have been overcorrected. Bummer.
