A few years ago, there came a short period when wearing glasses became the cool thing to do and all of us were getting them at 150 bucks from cheap markets. But wearing glasses isn't really a very healthy thing, you do it because your vision isn't powerful enough to make you see clearly. However, there are ways in which you can at least improve your vision or keep it in a good state and NOT become "Jassi from Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi".
Not only eat but eat healthy. Food plays a very important role in our vision since the deficiency of certain nutrients can cause our vision to deter and lead to bad eyesight. Have foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin C and E. Foods like green leafy vegetables, eggs, nuts, and fish are known to improve vision.

Eyestrain, blurry vision, dry eyes, headache, backache, and shoulder pain are some of the harms it can do.
