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.
