If a person in adolescence has myopia, his eyeball will increase in size and the degrees of myopia will increase.If he protects his eyes very well, then, how many degrees of myopia will his eyes increase AT LEAST, and when will this increase stop ( At the age of what )?

is this a statistics question?

or are you myopic and wondering what will happen to you in the future?



the thing is... this type of thing is highly variable, for some - no increase, and some others... you don't want to know.

many factors can have effect too - genetic/lifestyle/diet/health...



I'm a congenital myopic, and my myopia has been increasing, and indeed, I am worried about my vision within my next three decades of life... what I will do, which you might also want to do, is... next time you see your obtomitrist... ask him about what you can expect for your future - but do keep in mind, that his snswer would be based on statistics... he can tell you what you can expect... but he can not tell the future
