Does taking my glasses off to 'let my eyes rest' actually have any meaningful effect? Or am I just making my eyes work harder? - eviltoast

Started wearing glasses full-time a few months ago and I usually take them off during my lunch break because, well I’m mainly looking at my sandwich and I’ve been told it’s good to let your eyes ‘relax’ as such.

Is this BS, or does it actually have some value?

    Your head might need the rest from the glasses on your head, but when you take your glasses off your eyes have to work harder to compensate. So, the idea is sound, but the explanation is wrong.
