Indeed, my ophthalmologist recommended against it explicitly as, according to him, that would contribute to making the situation worse and I'd need new glasses sooner. So I try not to wear them as much as I can. It does feel weird to get that advice from an ophthalmologist.
I think this might be the answer.
I think the issue is that I just do so much at my desk. I work. I eat etc. So it's like, when I'm eating it doesn't occur to me to wear them. but I just need to remember that when I'm at my desk, I wear them. Though wearing them all the time in the house might be the answer.
If you go this route, I've found it easier to walk around the house if I look at my upraised hand and navigate peripherally- hand is in focus, and the rest is expectedly not, rather than everything in front of me being blurry.
Some things in the distance are a little fuzzy but I just got used to not trying to focus on everything in the house.
But also if I'm not wearing them at my computer I really notice and it's a little difficult to work without them. I sometimes forget to bring them to a Starbucks and I can still work while wearing my normal glasses, but it's not as easy.
That being said, your Optometrist might not recommend this behavior. I haven't noticed any downsides to doing this though, and I've been doing it this way for like 6+ years now.
