I'm hoping an optometrist or someone who knows about eyeglasses can answer this question.
Short Version: Will wearing eyeglasses with a slightly weaker prescription than my normal prescription be bad for the eyes? I'm near-sighted if that makes a difference.
Long Version:
I went to get a vision exam recently and my optometrist says my vision didn't change since the last time. I decided to get another pair of glasses with different frames so my optometrist ordered them with the same prescription. When I got the new glasses, they make my eyes tired after about 5 minutes of wearing. My optometrist thinks the reason my eyes are getting tired is because the lenses are too strong (even though it's the same prescription) and suggested that re-ordering the glasses with a slightly weaker prescription will stop it from tiring my eyes. Will wearing eyeglasses with a slightly weaker prescription than my normal prescription be bad for the eyes?
