Do I need to wear glasses if I have 150 degrees of myopia?

150 degrees of myopia is considered mild myopia, but if this mild myopia affects your daily eye use, you can go to a regular ophthalmology hospital to get glasses. You must not wear inappropriate glasses casually.

1. Regarding the issue of wearing glasses, some people insist that wearing glasses for a long time will cause deformation of the eyes and greatly affect the aesthetics, while others insist that taking off and putting on glasses from time to time will make myopia worse. So is it better to wear glasses all the time, or to wear them when needed? It is recommended that people with moderate or above myopia wear glasses all the time. Dong Bingsong, deputy director of the ophthalmology department of Nanfang Hospital, is here to answer your questions. Experts believe that people with moderate myopia or above are advised to wear glasses all the time. This is more convenient for life and will not cause problems caused by unclear vision. It can also prevent the worsening of myopia.

2. So, how many degrees of myopia is considered moderate myopia? According to experts, moderate myopia or above refers to myopia above 300 degrees. If the myopia is above 300 degrees, it is best to wear glasses all the time. Will wearing glasses all the time cause bulging eyeballs? Most people believe that wearing glasses for a long time will cause the eye sockets to sink and the eyeballs to bulge, which looks very ugly. Experts say that wearing framed glasses for a long time will not cause bulging eyes. To put it another way, bulging eyes are not caused by wearing framed glasses for a long time, but by severe myopia.

3. High myopia has obvious genetic factors, and domestic investigations show that it is an autosomal recessive inheritance. Almost all high myopia patients have axial length growth and significant thinning of the sclera at the posterior pole of the eye. In higher prescription cases, this thinning may extend to the equator, but the anterior half of the eye remains normal. The eyeballs of such patients are significantly enlarged and protruding, and the eye axis grows, so the protruding eyeballs become more obvious, which really affects the appearance.

4. Therefore, even if people with moderate or lower myopia wear glasses for a long time, their eyeballs will not bulge out. If people with high myopia have bulging eyes, it is because of the appearance changes caused by the lesions of the eyes themselves, and has nothing to do with innocent glasses.
