Can wearing glasses when you do not need them damage your eyes?

I have been told all my life never to put on glasses because it causes damage to your eyes. And to be honest I've always been skeptical of this because I have wore glasses, I have 2020 vision so I do not need them, but never experienced any discomfort other than the fact that while wearing the glasses they distorts my vision makes things look bigger or blurry.

    No, another myth from the oldies. Like never go out with wet hair.

    Not in a permanent way.

    Wearing reading glasses before they are actually needed , eventually will make reading quite difficult without them , but if you stop wearing them , the vision will go back to normal again after a few weeks.
