Hello sir/mam. . i am too much worried about my eyes. Every time i check up my eyes it  increases by - 0.25D. it was - 4.25D, 6 months ago. i was seeing little blur. and it is now  - 4.5D. i heard that power stabilizes by 21 years of age. then why everytime it increases by - 0.25D???how long will this go on increasing like this??? will this ever get stabilized?? P. S. - i get retinal check ups regularly.

See the number increases as ur height increases its a part of growth.... It will stabilize eventually.... But may occur anywhere from 21 to 23 yrs. Mild fluctuations of -0.25 shud nt b bothersome as they may b due to human error too. Don't worry just relax.... Gud that u r getting a retina check up done regularly....plz continue with that.
