Weaker glasses
I am severely nearsighted. Can wearing weaker prescription glasses for close work like computer or reading make me more nearsighted?
Best Answer

Glasses are set for distance. Therefore when you are doing close work you have to accommodate. Some studies suggest this causes myopia to progress (more myopic kids since hand held computer games).
Wearing weaker glasses for computer work should make you myopia progress less.
