• What the result can be if someone with good vision wear prescription glasses?

  I once wore my friend's prescription glasses (he is -5.00 in both eyes) and I feel a big dizziness and can't see things clear.I think if you wear the prescription glasses which you don't need for a long time,your vision would surely get worse and finally end up with wearing glasses.

• Can I wear glasses at full power if I only have myopia in one eye?

  If you wear glasses at full power, then there is a big difference between two eyes. You will find difficult to get used to your glasses. If you wear a weaker prescription glasses, which will narrow the gap between the two eyes, your eyes can work together more easily. Hence you can adapt to your glasses easily. So just choose the one that is comfortable to wear.
