Next Question:  Isn't it normal for sight to deteriorate as you grow older?

Previous Question: What about refractive surgery - surely that's easier?
      Do I have to stop wearing glasses completely?  
      Not all at once. You can begin by just leaving them off when it is convenient and go without more as you find that you need them less. If you are starting with a fairly high prescription it may be a good idea to have the strength progressively reduced. The important thing is to learn how to use your eyes in a more relaxed way. You can still do this to some extent while wearing glasses: if they begin to feel restricting, you will naturally want to take them off.
