Maybe a dumb question....

I found out a had a lazy eye when I was 16, and it could not be
corrected. I currently wear a strong prescription +3.00, +3.50 I think
it is. Sometimes I get really spaced out and it is difficult do think,
and my eyes can get sore sometimes and I even get headaches. My
question is whether wearing eyeglasses can cause psychological things
like anxiety or depression, which I get sometimes. I am not wearing
the correct strength I am supposed to since it would put too much of a
toll on my eye muscles. Is it just a case that I am getting a lot of
eyestrain?

How old are you now?

I'm not a doctor, but from what I understand, it's probably time for you to
get a thorough eye exam. It's possible that you have more farsightedness
than your prescription would indicate and that--for years and years--your
accommodative system (ability to focus) was more than up to the task. If
you're pushing 40, or thereabouts, it's likely you may need a stronger
prescription. As we get older, the lens of the eye starts to get less
flexible so we need a little more help, especially when reading or using
computers.

In my experience, eye issues like you describe (more than the wearing of
spectacles itself)--if severe enough or persistent enough--can really cause
a person problems.

Best of luck!
