Hi, I’m 14M. This year I will be turning 15. My myopia is -7.50 on my left and -6.50 on my right.

I’m honestly really really scared because my myopia has gotten so bad in a span of a few years, but I do recognize that I played a part in this. It was my habits that fueled it and I swear I’m trying to fix my ways by doing more outside stuff.

I’m obviously very young and I’m really scared of going blind with retina detachment, I don’t want to go blind with so much ahead of me. I have dreams to travel the world and see its glory.

I’ve been looking around the web looking for a cure or something that could at least correct myopia. As

you may all know there is no complete cure for myopia though it can be correction.

It’s just that the corrective procedures are too expensive for my family to afford without taking a massive financial hit. Don’t worry I’m not begging for money, but I come here to r/myopia because I’m really scared of going blind and was just wondering if..

Do I still have hope?

Does anyone else have this condition? I’m 18, prescription is around -10, and over the years I’ve noticed even despite correction my vision is getting worse. I had a bunch of tests and retinal scans and they can’t find a specific reason why I can’t be corrected, it’s just the way it is apparently. These days my vision is about 20/50 after wearing lenses, and it’s like anything at a distance is just unclear, confusing, and ambiguous to me. I’m pretty devastated about my future and my overall life. It tears me up mentally and I torment myself thinking about what’s going to happen to me and what my life could’ve been like if I just had healthy eyes. I could be driving around, enjoying my youth, no worries about going blind, able to see things clearly without having to lean in and squint all the time. I don’t know how to cope, I know I need to accept the way things are but it just hurts too much.

i always thought me vision was fine but i went in for an eye test so i could get my license, but to my surprise i failed. as it was only a test to measure if i met the standards to drive we didnt get into the specifics of anything else. My parents went to the optician today for my mum to get new glasses, and they asked about my situation and apparently the optician told them that i would have to start with glasses. But i know multiple people that never had glasses and just got contacts from the get go, so it seems atleast partly untrue or misscominicated, but im not an optician so i could very well be wrong. Now glasses for me are a hard no, only option pertaining to glasses for me would be only wearing them while driving but ive heard that causes tons and tons of headaches, not sure how true that is tho. So for me its just between contacts and a license or nothing and take the buss and public transport is good in my country its just obviously less convenient than a car and i would drive for like 2 years, and when i move away to go to college i would have to just take public transport anyway as i couldnt afford a car.

is the info my parents have been given true or not, can i wear just contact lenses? and why?

Our kiddo recently got these glasses. He has been doing the drops for a couple years and while we will never know if they are slowing down what otherwise would have been worse, they don’t seem to be working that well.

Does Stellist make any kind of sunglass lens? He plays baseball and will be doing baseball camp outdoors much of the summer, and really likes wearing sunglasses. I see an ad for Rayban pop ons compatible with Stellist lenses but no idea where to get them (and we just bought different glasses as our first try with the lenses so…). The optometrist at our ophthalmologist is not especially knowledgable.

Know you are supposed to wear the Stellist 12 hours a day but wondering how big of a deal it is — ie will this totally eliminate it from working or will it decrease the effectiveness. I know being outside is also important so trying to balance this.

we are also considering the contacts but he’s a little young. Does anyone combine contacts at night with Stellist glasses during the day? Or would that not work because of how it changes your eye overnight?

Thanks!
