Vision Problems

2017-12-27 13:51:09
Hello, I am a 12 year old male that has somewhat thick glasses (54-18-140). Did I loose some of my vision because of puberty (does puberty change my eyesight since I am growing?) I am really scared and worried at this point. LASIK surgery sounds scary.

Hi your refraction (glass power) tends to change as you grow up. Don’t worry about it. Keep regularly showing an ophthalmologist to keep it in check. I would not advise Lasik till you are much older and your refraction is stable.
