I am 25 years old, I had my glasses changed a year ago, I recently went for a check-up and the doctor said that the defect is still progressing, is it possible at this age? I am tired of wearing glasses, I don’t know what to do, my defect is right eye -8, -1.75 cylinder and axis 30 degrees, and left eye -7.75 and -1.75 cylinder, axis 165 degrees. How long does the defect have to be stable to qualify for laser correction and does the procedure reduce the defect completely?

A change in the power of glasses is not always the result of the progression of the defect. Sometimes, in order to force the eye to work, weaker lenses are selected. Therefore, you cannot rely solely on the power of the selected correction, the actual refractive error is more important. If you have a previous examination, it would be good to compare it with the current one. At the age of 25, the defect should have stabilized, but not necessarily. I invite you to the examination and we will try to decide together whether it is time for the procedure or whether it is better to wait. The defect should be completely removed, but only after examining all the parameters, I will know exactly.
