Hi I have started wearing glasses but the opticians said I don't need to wear them all the time but I like the way I look with them on and I can see better with them on, and I would like to know does anyone else wear them all the time even thow they don't need to.

Yeah, I've done that -- wear glasses because they look good, even though I don't need to.
The optometrist warns us not to wear our glasses all the time because our eyes will get used to them, and pretty soon we do have to wear glasses all the time because our eyesight really has diminished.
So that's the risk you take. I did wear my glasses for a while (6-8 months or so) and eventually got tired of them. And my eyes were just fine. That was years ago, and I still don't need to wear glasses.
Of course, every case is different. Maybe it ends up that you do need to wear glasses all the time.
(but if that's what you want... )

When people say 20/20 vision what's mine, my right eye is +1.00, -2.00, 95.0 and left is +0.50, -0.75, 70.0
