Dear Doctor

What if a perfectly normal pair of eyes are subjected to an over correction of -0.25sph???

will eyelense muscles tear if the person subjects his eye to these glases for 3weeks??

The glasses whether the right RX or the wrong RX cannot damage your eyes. If you put on my glasses and wore them for a week you might have some eye strain or mild headache but it would not damage your eyes.

The cyclinder number is important and I can't tell about your RX without the complet number sphere cyclinder axis

Was this a prescription only meant for reading?? Cause I used it continiously for 3weeks even for outdoor use...

I regret having done this as I listened to the optimetrist advice where is said it takes time to adapt to glasses....

Do u think that the eye lens muscles are ruptured???as the spherical number caused the image to fall behind the retina while my eye lense muscles were trying their best to facus the image on the retina???

What is the maxima spherical (negative) can a eye muscle handle before it gets permanently deformed??

I have visited doctor to check the eye ball pressure, it is fine....My retina and cornea have been checked too...

I am 23years old and never had any problems with my eyes before......


My is a very unique case as i continuted to wear the spectacles inspite of the terrible pain...I regret having done this..........

Wht is the reason for seeing shadows and double images????

i get pain spasms even now......in my right eye...

Have the eye lense muscles have been stretched where they cannot return to normal???

Pls reply...............

Dear Doctor!!

I suppose you misunderstood me!!!

Before wearing glasses I never had problems with my vision.....

I visited an opthalmologist before leaving to do my masters in a country andhe prescribed

Left eye -0.5CYL
Right Eye -0.5CYL -0.25Sph

I amreferring to the spherical number and not the cylindrical

On wearing this prescription my right eye started hurting me like as if something was pulling inside....I wore it for 2 weeks then I finally decided to visit an optimetrist.  He told me to continue to wearthem forminimum 2weeks continiously...

i wore them continiously but the pain was not stopping untill i finally gave up and stopped wearing spectacles.....

since then i see shadows and my vision has become blurred.....

i recently went to an optimetrist and he checked my number on the machine...

my spherical number in the right eye has increased to -1

he said that it was an over correction and that the nerves were agitated....

can u please tell me what has the spectacles done to my right eye considering the fact that i forced my self to adapt my eyes to something that was not meant for me....

And as you say making spectacles was a waste of money......I fully agree with you....

But the problem here is that I wore these spectacles for 3 weeks continiously and now that I have stopped wearing them I see shadows and long distant become blurred to me..


Will my eyes retrn back to normal???


Pls advise

a pair of -0.25 glasses are so weak they would be a waste of money however they will not hurt or damage the eye.
