The Truth About Corrective Lenses
Ask any eye doctor and he’ll tell you:
 No studies have ever proven the long term
safety or effectiveness of corrective lenses.
- The vast majority of people who wear them
get progressively worse and need stronger
prescriptions as their eyes become weaker.
- Approximately 30% of people who wear them
end up with potentially blinding eye diseases
such as cataract or macular degeneration.
The diagram shows the typical path of people who wear corrective lenses. In most cases,
they are born with normal eyes and have good vision for many years. Then they develop a
minor focusing problem and start wearing corrective lenses, then they become dependent
on them and get progressively worse. Of course, each person follows a different path but
the basic pattern is the same – a vicious cycle of stronger lenses and weaker eyes.
