I am 16 year old and have eye power in left eye 0.75 and in right eye 0.50. Did I have to wear eye glasses every time or I can use glasses only at sometimes in class hour? If I took protein rich foods regularly did I have probability that without glasses in future?

At age of 16 yrs , this is negligible power ,& you are not having headache or eye strain , you need not wear glass all the time but you should keep in mind that myopic power increases upto 21 yrs in male. Myopic power is inherited from either mother or father side & is basically hereditary in nature ,maximum increase in myopic power takes place between 13 to 21 yrs in male & between 13 yrs to 19 yrs in female because maximum body growth takes place between these periods. There is no direct medicine to check the increase in myopic power but with the help of balanced diet ,green vegetables & seasonal fruits� one can slow the speed in the increase of myopic� power,one can take the help of yoga pranayam, swimming, gym &these things definitely slow the speed of increase in myopic power.
