I'm a bit worried because I used to masturbate a lot when I was in 12th grade, and I would often play sports right after. Now, I only do it once a week or every two weeks. I'm 22 years old and recently noticed I need glasses with a prescription of 0.5. Could my past habits of frequent masturbation have affected my health or eyesight? I would really like to know.

Masturbation does not have any direct negative effects on your health or eyes. Wearing glasses with a power of 0.5 is a common prescription for mild vision issues and is not typically related to masturbation. It is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle with regular exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep for overall well-being. If you have any specific concerns about your health or eyes, it is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist for a thorough evaluation.
