Continuous Increase in Eye Power
Hi, I am currently 29 and my myopia has not stabilized it's is continuously increasing. Dr have advised that it should be stable after 22-24 years but my eye power is degrading continuously. The bad thing is left eye power has doubled while the right being almost stagnant for over years. I started wearing specs in 2007 with -1.5 and -1.5 now it it's -4.5 and -2.25. Intresting observation are that cylindrical power and axis is now changing ? Can Any one suggest why my eye power has not still stabilized. What is progressive myopia ?? Thanks 🙏

Get your corneal topography and optical biometery done. Reappear it after 6 months. This may give some indication on increase in power of lenses. Your past records from doctors will also need to be looked into in the same perspective.

Length of the eyeball gets stabilised at the age of 20-24
Progressive myopia may have some cornea problem
Kindly check for topography and
Axial length
