Before when i was studying sometime in college i wear eye glasses because there's something wrong with my eyes. Now i stop wearing eye glasses i shift to sun glasses because my classmate advices me and they suggest that it's better that as early i will removed my glasses, means to say i should stop wearing...first is i'm too young for that and i look old when i used it. They told that i should train myself without eyeglasses.

Tell your friends to mind their own business because their ignorance may cause your eyes to get worse. Why would you pay for an eye exam and glasses, and then listen to someone who doesn't know anything about eye problems? As for being too young, I've been wearing glasses since I was about eight years old. If I hadn't worn them, I would have been severely handicapped in school. And not all eye conditions can be retrained. If you want to know about that then talk to your optometrist about it and ask questions. I guess your friends think it's cool to wear sunglasses but not regular glasses. The point of glasses is to help your eyes, not make a fashion statement, thoug there are very nice frames, if you can afford them.

Unless your classmate is an optometrist and did an eye exam on you then IGNORE that advice. If your eyes could be trained without wearing glasses then glasses would not have been prescribed. As for looks, these days they have really cute glasses that look good on people and change into sunglasses when you walk outdoors.
