Extreme Myopia.

2020-12-02 17:02:34
I have high near sightedness.. -9 and - 10 on left and right eyes. Been wearing glasses for 22 yrs.. And I'm 29 yrs old. I read in the internet that people like me (high myopic powers) are prone to many dangerous diseases like Cataract, Retinal Detachment, etc. Which could lead to vision loss.. And this really bothering me.. What should I do to prevent those diseases in near future? And how to keep my eyes healthy..?
