Will wearing the 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 glasses prescription damage my eyes? ⁣ ⁣ The answer changes depending on your age:⁣ ⁣ Adults: 𝗡𝗼 - wearing glasses that are too strong or too weak will not damage your eyes or cause your vision to become worse. However, wearing an old prescription may result in discomfort due to eye strain or headache. It’s the same when you put on a friend’s glasses, you might feel uncomfortable and dizzy, but it will not damage your eyes. ⁣ ⁣ Kids: 𝗬𝗲𝘀 - in specific situations. A study from the University of Cambridge found that a myopic, also known as a near-sighted, glasses prescription that has been *under*corrected may lead to 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 of myopia in children and teens. Be sure to get an up-to-date prescription for your kids. ⁣ ⁣ Regardless of your age, wearing the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 glasses prescription will most definitely improve your quality of life! 👓

Will wearing glasses make my vision worse?⁣ ⁣ The answer is 𝙉𝙊. ⁣ ⁣ This is a common misconception and it likely comes from the fact that we see with our brain and not just our eyes. Our eyes look at an object, send a signal to our brain, and our brain tells us what we are seeing. ⁣ ⁣ So, when a person who has been seeing blurry their whole life puts on a pair of glasses, their brain registers a clearer image for the first time. When those glasses are taken off, the brain now notices the difference between blurry image and clear image. Your eyes did not get worse in the process, the prescription did not change, your brain now 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.⁣ ⁣ This perception is what makes us feel like our vision “got worse” when we take our glasses off. ⁣ ⁣ Would you guys like to learn more eye related myth busters?

“I can see my hands again!” ⁣ ⁣ I took this photo a few months ago during my visit to Rwanda. It’s a moment I will have ingrained in my mind & heart forever. ⁣ ⁣ Her name is Uwimana, which she explained means the daughter of God in Kinyarwanda. Before coming to see us, she was dependent on her daughter taking care of her. She didn’t realize there was another option as vision care was non-existent in her area. And even if there was, she couldn’t afford it. ⁣ ⁣ Thanks to @onesight and a wonderful group of volunteers, we were able to open an affordable eye clinic in her area, as well as several other remote locations in Rwanda.⁣ ⁣ Uwimana told me she was most excited to be able to cut her nails again and read the Bible. Now every time I look at my hands or read my Bible, I think of her. In some ways, she helped me see as much, if not more than, I helped her. She is truly a daughter of God. ⁣ ⁣ Happy National Volunteer Week & thank you Onesight for giving us the opportunity!⁣ ⁣ What is your favorite memory volunteering?
