At the age of 22 I diagnosed with -0.25 in both eye .doctor told me to wear glasses 24 hr even for near work .and I did the same .but slowly my eye number start increasing and today at the age of 25 I have -2.00 left and 1.25 right .but during lockdown I did some research on myopia and find that 1- if you can see near object or you can read book without glass then don?t wear full correction glass for near work .b/c they are for distance. And if you use then b/c of hyperopia defocus you eye axial length increase and after few month you need stronger glass to see distance objects. And this cycle goes on. Research paper-url Nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc1979094/ 2-in the starting you may see distance objects blur b/c of ciliary muscle spasm. So instead wearing glass with very low prescription (like -0.25)try to relax you eye for few days and limit close up activity. And then decide to wear glass or not based on result. Now what should I do to control it?
