Eye Treatment
I habe been diagnosed short sightedness at the age of 5. Since then it has been increased and now I have powers of -20 for right eye and -6 for left eye respectively. I am using a glasses with a power of -6 for both eyes. My left eye is also becoming squint at times, as I lost the vision partly and couldn't control it. Since it is increasing, is there any solutions that can done to treat these eyes?

Hi...looks like it is degenerative myopia and there is a difference in power in both eyes.
Mostly the right eye should be squinting as it is the weaker eye. With so much of difference in power , contact lenses would be a more suitable solution.
If you want to remove number, you could plan for ICL ...
These options will be given by any doctor if you do the check up.
More important thing is to do regular checks, esp of retina, check for weak areas and treat it ,if needed .
Maintain healthy lifestyle .
