Does correcting your vision with glasses or contacts make your vision worse?
I have a slight prescription for glasses at -1.0. If I wear my glasses for a while, and them take them off my vision seems more blurry than if I never put them on. It almost seems as though by using corrective lenses, my vision gets worse. What's going on here?
No, it does not make it worse. Your brain likes to see 20/20 so after getting a taste of it, you want to see well. It does not get worse, it is the same, your brain just wants to see well.

If you don't wear anything, your eyesight will be worse from straining, that I'm sure of.
Why it always seems blurry after you take off your glasses/contacts, I'm not positive, but i think your eye just gets used to having that extra help from the contacts. If you left them off for a while, it wouldn't be quite as blurry, but you'd be straining yourself

I have had to wear glasses for years for close drawing work, they do relax your eyes, but I'm sure that over the years they do make your eyes worse.

No, wearing your glasses or contacts won't make your vision worse. All the lenses do is focus the light where it should be.
That same light is entering your eye either way, just not focusing where it should so you don't see as clearly.
Your vision seems worse when you take them off because you are going from clear vision back to the uncorrected state, so it takes a while. That doesn't mean your vision is getting worse....you just notice the difference more.

It only seems that way because your eyes were previously used to straining a lot. Over time. . . well, it's just not a good thing for those poor muscles to always be fighting a losing battle to focus the light coming in properly. If you let the glasses do some of the work that your eyes weren't really able to handle properly, they get used to not working so hard, and then they're used to only working as hard as someone's with 20/20 vision is. Maybe that makes it seem like your vision is getting worse, but what's really going on is that the overload in focusing is getting redirected to your glasses. Your eyes are just saying "thank you" when things afterward look fuzzy without glasses!
It seems to take a little while for everything to get used to NOT having to work so hard to see. I've actually had my eyes focus wrong for a second or two for the first several minutes after I'm looking through a new prescription. . . but then it clears up.
