No. Your poorly grown orbits do. Your eyes are always readjusting, and would fix even severe errors in days or weeks, but they can't because of the tiny orbits.

poorly prescribed glasses, maybe. risk when not wearing them is amblyopia or strabismus if your eyes are bad enough.

>>15959109
No.

Yes, lens induced myopia was recognized before medicine turned into a infinite money scheme, doctors used to recommend you spend less time on the computer and go outside to readjust your eyesight, there is a channel on YouTube called Jack Steiner who talks about something called "active focus," try that, it's free.

Doctors used to recommend you smoke cigarettes, too. Old doctors' recommendations aren't necessarily better than modern medicine.

>>15959109
Yes

Worsen if not wearing, improve if.

no my eyesight is actually improved with glasses

Yes, but also no. It's a little frustrating.
Let's begin with myopia's initial development.
The Eskimo study proved that it was fundamentally environmental. You had a population of adults who had normal vision whose children in the very next generation had staggering rates of myopia. What changed? Their children was the first generation to be introduced to a western style school system. Staying inside, reading, not getting much sun. This is no longer disputed by even mainstream science. So, your eyes "adjust" to what you put in front of them, and the context of that, i.e. in sun or not.
Now, you asked about glasses. The thing is, what kind of glasses? Proper glass glasses, i.e. the thick coke bottle lenses, did not, because they refract light "normally". Plastic polymer lenses, however, bend the light so that red goes to a slightly different area than blue (and all the other colors are affected too). Even though you "see" fine, the blue gets sent a little slightly lower, and the eye elongates to match the blue because that's the part of the spectrum it tries to match.
Plastic polymer lenses are often used for the worse vision people because it's able to be thinner, but it's the worse vision people who also seem to suffer from their vision worsening over time.
Coming back to the original answer I gave, it's not as simple as "glasses bad", you have to also consider what KIND of glasses.

Fallacy of modernism. New does not necessarily equal good. Look at the prevalence of vegetable oils in the modern diet and obesity rates.

I forgot where I learned this, so you can just take the terms / concepts introduced here and do your own research.

And they were right on the money. Modern medicine is a scam.

I have anecdotal, personal proof of this. During COVID, I went through an online Master's degree program and spent hours per day on the computer. My eyesight worsened, likely caused by a combination of presbyopia (I'm late 40s) and extended computer use. I began wearing corrective lenses, but rarely used them. After completing the program, a year later, I had my eyesight back, assessed as 20/10. While my nearsightedness remains slightly compromised, my farsightedness has been restored after not spending hours on the computer.

Tl;dr staring at a computer screen will F your vision up

That was because people in Australia didn't use to need glasses, and they assumed it was because of the UV light. It wad because of the high lead levels.

Their diet changed. You can even see it on people's faces.

Yes, they got it all wrong. And it's only the later stage, as the eye can compensate for quite a lot by other means. The lenses and corneas can get thinner (in some people there is no safety check, so their corneas eventually rip) to compensate, for example. The defects depend on eye socket type: European people tend to have it quite good, East Asians temd to suffer from extreme myopia, even complete looss of vision, as the retina begins to rip apart, while American natives tend to have eye sockets that squish the eye vertically.
