Introduction
If 100 degrees of myopia or hyperopia does not significantly affect daily life, work, or study, and there are no frequent symptoms such as eye strain or headaches, glasses may not be necessary for the time being. However, if 100 degrees of myopia begins to interfere with daily activities and is accompanied by frequent symptoms like eye fatigue, dryness, or headaches, then wearing glasses is recommended.

In general, whether a person with 100 degrees of myopia needs glasses depends on their specific visual condition and the presence of accompanying symptoms. If 100-degree myopia does not affect daily life and there are no other discomfort symptoms, glasses are usually not necessary. However, if this level of myopia interferes with daily activities or causes discomfort, wearing corrective lenses may be required. If you experience any physical discomfort, please seek medical advice promptly. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If 100 degrees of myopia or hyperopia does not significantly impact daily life, work, or study, and there are no frequent symptoms such as eye fatigue or headaches, it may not be necessary to wear glasses.

It is important to maintain good eye health by avoiding prolonged close-up work, managing screen time wisely, engaging in regular outdoor activities, and undergoing routine eye examinations.
