Hello doctor,Before two years, my eyesight was perfect. But during that time only because of me using phone late night it started declining and now its R= >-2.25, L = >-2.00. I used '>' because I am currently not able to see that clearly with my current glasses. Within the span of three year my eyesight is getting worst I have consulted earliet also.Doctors say myopia cannot be cured, but it will become stable after a certain age. My concern is within every four to five months my eyesight is getting worse, how should I make it permanent, if not cure it (which it cannot be cured) then how can I make it constant, please suggest through what food, exercise, etc. also I want a very honest answer, given my history as poor eyesight was not a genetic problem as I develop it, later on, tell me honestly is there any remotest possibility of me going blind.
Hello. Adolescent myopia is a condition that we come across in ophthalmology, and it is considered physiological, but specific approaches should be maintained and other pathologies to be excluded such as disorders in the macula that might be mimicking myopia. The first step would be to get an optical coherence tomography done to evaluate the thickness of the retina. Only once that is excluded, then can we think about putting up the diagnosis of myopia for a person who never used spectacles before. Hopefully, it will not be that and only myopia for which you need glasses or correction until it is stable. Every individual has a change rate in refraction differently so every six months you should visit the optometrist and evaluate your refraction and if it does not exceed 0.5D every six months, then there is no need to worry. As a surgical treatment, we as ophthalmologists have sclero strengthening procedures to stabilize the growth of myopia, and you can discuss them with your ophthalmologist. You will not go blind, do not worry.
