3 years post Evo ICL
Hello. I had evo ICL at age 23 after three years of stable vision at -8.0 in each eye.
I went for my yearly checkup now 3 years after ICL and was told that my vision has slipped to 20/25. The eye doctor said probably not a big enough regression to go back in glasses and not a big enough regression for a lasik touch up.
I do however notice that my vision is worse than it was the first few years after icl as I have to squint to see distant street signs.
My vision got aggressively worse when i was a child. Each year i would get one diopter worse or so.
Question is… my surgeon told me my vision wouldn’t get any worse when he implanted the ICLs. Now it seems to be worsening.
I’m currently 27… Will my myopia ever stop progressing?
I don’t know what to do because i like 20/20 vision but i don’t know if this is poor enough for glasses and probably not bad enough for a touch up.
I’m growing more frustrated because i feel like technically my vision was much better in contacts. I was 20/20 and could adjust the prescription when necessary (which wasn’t often in my later young adulthood)
As a side note my eye doctor says when you get into your 30s your vision can actually slightly improve as the lens starts to harden? Has anyone heard of this?
