is it possible to get over wearing your reading glasses?

years ago, i was diagnosed with astigmatism. i was told that there's no cure for that and that i have to wear glasses for the rest of my life, taking them off only when i'm sleeping or at the shower. i proved my doctor wrong. i can now get by without any glasses on. i don't know exactly what i did. i just forgot to bring my glasses with me, and i survived without experiencing any pains whatsoever.

i have astigmatism. my optometrist said that cases below the age of 22 can still be repaired, as long as you always wear your correctional glasses. i broke my glasses last may and i've only had a couple of headaches as opposed to the major migraines i got when i was in highschool. my optometrist said that my eyesight improved. so there, it's possible to repair it.

ya it depends person to person .

Umm... I'm not sure what your iris has to do with reading glasses, if anything!Here's why humans often have to wear reading glasses: The lens of your eye (not the iris) changes shape to allow you to see distance and close up (on a normal eye, not someone who is near sighted or far sighted). When you're looking at most things (at least for most people), you're looking far away. When you're asleep, your lens relax to the distance setting basically. So your eyes are at the close up setting much less frequently. After awhile, your lens don't change shape as easily and they sort of get "stuck" in distance mode. So now if you want to see something close up, you'll need reading glasses because your lens is not as flexible as it used to be. So to answer your question, once you wear reading glasses, you'll always wear reading glasses. Your lens will only get less and less elastic, resulting in you needing more and more powerful reading glasses. Sorry to disappoint you!
