It's worth noting that glasses correct other issues as well. Not just short/long distance sighted. They also correct lazy eyes and other things

"lazy eyes" is too vague a term for this statement to be clearly either true or false.
If you mean strabismus, then yes, this is *sometimes* correctable with glasses. If you mean amblyopia, glasses can help in childhood but are unlikely to help in adults.
