INCREASING EYE POWER WITH TIME AND AGE
Hello Doctor. My age is 21 years and I m big for my face, although it seems a nice fit to me and others. I wanted to ask that will my power keep on increasing like this? Shop owner said it will increase slowly with age. Is it true? Or do I have any problem with my eyes?
Or is it because of screen time. I'm preparing for competitive exam so almost all the time I am inside my room seeing screen or only close objects. PLEASE tell me why is my eye power increasing ?

Generally slight variations in eye power is common till the age of 21-22...by age 22-23 generally eye power stabilises...dont worry it wont go on increasing for lifetime....after your power gets fixed any discomfort that you might be experiencing may be due to increased digital screen usage...for now please try to limit your screen time as much as possible...while working on screen try to take a short 1 min break and close your eyes after every 20-25 mins of work...and use a lubricating eye drop now if you have a lot of screen time now
Next Steps
Do not worry...power will stabilise in a year or so
