r/myopia

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?

I see a flashing line of light when I blink, but it disappears when I try to focus on it; the flash is visible only when I blink rapidly or shift my gaze. I don't notice anything while outdoors—the flashing line appears only when I blink, and it happens specifically when I am indoors. Why is this happening?

Anyone who is under 18y.o who did endmyopia, any advice how did you tell your parents about endmyopia, how did you convince them about doing this method?how they reacted? Did you convince them in buying normalized?

Anyways i'm too inconfident in telling them.

I've been wearing glasses since as far as I can remember my childhood. I sorta just accepted it as hereditary and will most likely live out my lfie with glasses. I don't really get my eyes checked regularly due to financial reasons and in highschool I'd even wear the same glasses for years and change only when I see significantly worse than before.

I'm 25 now and just got my eyes checked again to get new glasses and its still -8 on my left and -12 on my right eye.This was the same a year ago at 24 when I could actually afford to have better glasses and regular checkup since having my own job. Before that the last grade I remember was -8.5 and -10 respectively.

I've always feared my eyes would give out later in life and I'm deathly afraid of going blind. Is there any way I can improve my eyesight this time around? I've heard about progression still continuing past 25-ish. I don't have the financial freedom to look into surgery in my country for now and all I can do is correct it with glasses.

i’m 24 years old , my eye prescription is -7.50 and -8.00 i’m scared it’ll get worse as i age. i have glasses but they are super thick. does anybody know any websites to get frames thinned for cheaper than most ?

I don't experience flashes of light, nor am I bothered by light. However, wherever I look, there are tiny, flickering dots—much like the shimmering pixels you see on a computer screen—present throughout my entire field of vision. It is very bothersome; is this a medical condition, or is it "visual snow"? I asked my sibling, and they said they experience it too, which really worried me. When I asked some friends, however, they said they didn't see anything like that. I am nearsighted, with prescriptions of -1.25 and -1.50; I also have -0.50 astigmatism in my left eye. Can you help me? I haven't had an eye exam in two years, and I don't recall seeing things like this before. Could this be due to my prescription increasing while my glasses remained the same? If this is Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS), I understand there is no cure; what are the latest developments? Are we any closer to a permanent treatment?
