When should I use my glasses/lenses

[kasse]

I have -1.50. Some optics say that I should always wear glasses/lenses, while others say that I should take them off when I read. Who is right?

-1.5 is mild shortsighted so you should be able to read without them.
With them off you will have better contrast, especially if they are dirty or you are using a computer screen.
But if you are anything like me you will break them more by taking them off.

It won't make any difference to your eyes.

Go with whatever is most comfortable for you when you read. If taking them off makes it easier to read, take them off. If leaving them off makes things look a bit blurry and you start getting headaches or have trouble seeing the text, put them back on.

OK, so there isn't a chance that I'll be more short sightened if I read with them?

No; I have the same prescription. Just use them when needed or when you need to look nerdy for that one girl in the library.
