thanks for your quick reply!
i understand that i should speak to an eye doctor regarding this issue, which is what i did. he said i should wear them ALL the time, but i don't see the benefit in that if i am far sighted. the lazy eye is not extreme but is there, not noticeable to myself or any of my friends...he just said that my left eye (obviously by my prescription) is weaker than my right.
my question is, if i wear these glasses for close work and than remove them for everything else, is this putting more of a strain on my eyes?
i should mention that i was getting headaches for awhile and that is how i ended up at the optometrist. in the end, i honestly could not see myself wearing these for everyday, as my left eye is noticeably larger in my glasses, not the best introduction to a first pair of glasses. because of this, i would prefer if i could just wear them for reading...and i guess if i had to wear them i would be in need of contacts as these glasses are awful.
sorry for the rant there.
thanks again for your help.

Dear dasee,
I would recommend that you wear the glasses for close work as this will likely remove strain for extended close work. As there is a large disparity between your eyes and you have a “lazy eye”, I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to determine the extent of laziness and their recommendation on glasses and their use.
