Myopia Progression at 35+ Years
Hello, I have a question regarding the progression of my Myopia condition. I've been wearing Myopia correction glasses since I was 13 years, and I'm currently 37 years old. Surprisingly, even after the age of 20, my Myopia has continued to worsen, with increases every 1-2 years, and continues to worsen even at 35. I've read that it should have stabilized by 18-24, so I'm curious if anyone has any insights into why my Myopia is still progressing?
