This is not pathological myopia. A difference of quarter number can occur just by 2 different people taking measurements or by same person taking measurements at 2 different times. You can even think of having lasik done as your numbers are stable and you are 21 years old! Maskatieyeclinic Opposite Charni road station east, Mumbai
