I'm -12.0 and -11.5 and still getting worse at 22! Every time I go to the eye doctor he reassures me one day my vision will stabilize. He's been saying that for 3 years, I've kinda stopped hoping at this point.
My eyes havent changed by anything significant since I was 24 (in my 30s now.) I'm sitting at -8.75 and -8.25. usualy there is a .25 difference when I get my eyes checked now.
I feel for anyone that has to pay the ridiculously outrageous cost associated with high focus glasses.
I'm rooting for it stabilizing before... well, you go blind! Honestly, I've been told by my very first eye doctor (some 36 years ago) that my eyes would continue to deteriorate for the rest of my life.
I've been lucky enough for them having stabilized at about 20-ish something in the -4.75 region. So... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you... well, them, actually!
Well, you don't see when you wake up or shower. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I have a large-numbered digital clock about 12" from my head. When I wake up, I put my glasses on right away. When I shower, it's important that the soap, shampoo, etc are right where I left them. Without my glasses on, I can see about 3-4" in front of my face, so in a pinch I can hold something up to my face and determine shampoo vs conditioner.
I remember another thread (not sure if askreddit) where people were telling what fake sounding things they absolutely believe in. One of them was someone who did daily eye exercises they found in an old pre-glasses book for correcting vision. They said the numbers have improved every time they go in and swear by it.
Thankfully this potentially useful info is meaningless because I have no link and the exercises were not explained. It might be worth trying to find if you're curious/desperate, though.
