Can wearing eyeglasses for myopia (nearsightedness) causes vision to get worse?

No. Although the causes of progressive myopia are many and not completely understood, using glasses to correct myopia is not a cause. To the contrary, it is necessary for normal distance vision. If you have trouble seeing things in the distance clearly, you might need glasses. Or be a candidate for LASIK or other eye treatments.
