Myopia & eyeglasses
I have done eyes test for the 1st time in my life.
I got power -0.25 (RE) & -0.75 (LE). Uploaded prescription. Don't know when myopia started.
1. Do I need Blue cut lenses
or Only arc lenses will be
sufficient? I need to
attend online classes though I always use blue light filter in laptop.
2. And do myopia increase with my age? What
should I do to protect my eyes?
3. Do I need to wear eyeglasses all the time & daily even if I stay indoors or only when I go outside?
Thank u.

1. ONLY ARC lenses are sufficient. Use blue filter mode on screens.
2. Myopia generally stabilizes around age 18-21y, but may increase (mildly) by factors such as high amount of near work, excessive indoor work, and many other factors.
3. It would be ideal to wear glasses most of the time, especially in low light conditions or when there is distance work.
Getting glasses for the first time raises a lot of questions.
I urge you to get an online consultation to address all your concerns
