In my family, neither my mother nor my father is myopic. My two sisters and my brother also have normal vision. I am the only one with -5.50 D myopia, and I am 27 years old.
I have a few questions:
How is it possible that I am the only person in my family with -5.50 D myopia?
If neither of my parents is myopic, what are the possible reasons this happened to me?
At 27 years of age, is my myopia likely to increase further, or is it usually stable by this age?
What are the chances that my prescription will become worse in the future?
Are there any tests or precautions I should take to monitor my eye health and reduce the risk of future problems?
I would appreciate any advice or similar experiences. Thank you!
