high myopia
by JohnDoe0000, Nov 18, 2008 02:16AM
I am a 30 years old male who has been wearning glasses since the age of 12. On my last visit to the doctor I found out that my myopia has reached the -7.0 point in both eyes. I was under the impression that mypoia stops getting worse after a certain age, but that is not true in my case. I was wondering if this is normal and how bad can it get? is there a chance that it will stop progressing?

Myopia usually stops but in high myopia of pathological myopia is can increase through out life and people have posted here that were glasses of -18.00
You should see a Eye MD ophthalmologist and let him/her look in your eyes to see if you have any myopic problems on your retina.
Also if you wore contacts you would see a lot better and you might be a candidate for LASIK depending on the thickness of your corneas.
