Does having 200 degrees of myopia require wearing glasses all the time?

Under normal circumstances, a prescription of 200 degrees indicates mild myopia. If your daily activities or studies require frequent viewing of distant objects, such as looking at the blackboard during class or driving, it is recommended to wear glasses for an extended period to correct vision and avoid eye fatigue and worsening of myopia caused by unclear vision. When performing near-vision tasks such as reading or using electronic devices, you may selectively remove your glasses, but should still maintain good eye usage habits. If visual fatigue or other discomfort occurs when not wearing glasses, it may be necessary to wear them for longer periods.

To protect your vision and slow the progression of myopia, it is advisable to undergo regular eye examinations to monitor changes in vision and adjust your glasses-wearing habits according to medical guidance. In daily life, avoid prolonged near-vision tasks, take a 5- to 10-minute break every 30 to 40 minutes of eye use, and increase outdoor activity time to relax the eye muscles. Choose reputable institutions for eye examinations and glasses fitting to ensure accurate prescription strength and avoid additional strain caused by inappropriate eyewear.
