Spectacle numbers are due to a change in the way the eyeball grows. If the number is constant and does not keep increasing then it should not be a problem. In case of the cylindrical power increasing, do get a corneal topography done- this will be suggested by an eye doctor if required
Health Tips
Get routine eye check ups done
