Is it necessary to wear glasses for a 150-degree myopia?

Whether to wear glasses for 150-degree myopia usually depends on specific visual demands and daily life situations. For adolescents, 150 degrees is considered mild myopia. If distant objects appear blurry during class or daily activities, wearing glasses is recommended to help see clearly and avoid excessive eye strain caused by unclear vision. Long-term failure to wear glasses may accelerate the progression of myopia, especially in situations involving frequent visual effort, such as studying or sports. However, if blurry distance vision occurs only occasionally and good distance vision is not required most of the time, wearing glasses can be optional based on a doctor's advice.

To protect vision and slow the progression of myopia, it is recommended to undergo regular eye examinations to monitor vision changes and choose appropriate corrective methods under a doctor's guidance. It is also important to maintain healthy visual habits in daily life, such as taking a 5- to 10-minute break every 30 to 40 minutes of near work, and avoiding prolonged screen time or reading. Increasing outdoor activity time can also help relax eye muscles and reduce the risk of worsening myopia, as natural light and distance viewing are beneficial. Ensure that glasses are prescribed and fitted by a reputable facility to guarantee accurate lens prescriptions and prevent further damage caused by incorrect lens power.
