REFRACTORY DISORDERS

That is why the glasses with positive numbers are known as near glasses. Such a number of glasses need to be worn forever. So that the eye is not stretched and the headache does not occur. If young children do not wear such glasses, in the long run, their eyesight may be impaired and their eyes may be irritated.
Such patients have to wear minus numbered glasses. Such people can see the near object well but they have difficulty in seeing the distant object...
One of the reasons for the minus number of glasses is to have an eye larger than normal.
Therefore, those who have a minus number from an early age can increase the number of glasses along with physical development. This number usually stabilizes between the ages of 15 and 20. Those who have more than number-3 have weak and thin eyelids.
