Should Glasses Be Worn Only During Reading?
Hi,
My name is George and I made a visit last weak for my eyes. My diagnose was that I can't see from a distance (e.g can't read the text on tv.) so I took glasses. Now the question is, do I need to keep this glasses all the time or just when I'm about to read something? I forgot to ask my doctor and now he is on vacations. I'd appreciate your help.
With respect,
George

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your husband is having difficulty to read for distance. This is called as myopia and this requires correction by the use of concave lenses in the form of spectacles.
This needs to be worn always. Only the glasses prescribed for near vision for presbyopia should be worn while reading only.
Hence he needs to wear the glasses always.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
