Hi folks
I recently bought a pair of optical goggles by mistake. When I compared them to non-optical goggles, I noticed that the optical ones made everything look much clearer and sharper, even at a distance.
I have good vision and am concerned about whether wearing prescription goggles could harm my eyesight. Will using these goggles negatively impact my vision over time?
If you have good vision, wearing optical goggles with a prescription won’t harm your eyes. They’re designed to correct vision, so using them with a prescription when you don’t need it might just make things look unnaturally sharp. If you’re concerned, you might want to stick with non-prescription goggles.
Optical goggles aren’t harmful for those with good vision. They can help by slightly relaxing the focusing muscles and reducing myopia. Myopia is caused by too much near work, leading to eye strain and a spasm that minus lenses worsen. Over time, this can cause the eyeball to elongate.
