Hello. 0.25 dioptre of increase in myopia is relatively insignificant clinically compared to same power of cylinder power. Usually increase in spherical power by more than 0.5d in 12 months is considered unstable. So you need not worry at all about your power right now.

Hello. I would first like to know what treatment you had taken for your stye and also how many times it has happened before? Stye can be a manifestation of a more deeper problem.

Hello. As you must be knowning, c3r is a procedure done to haul the progression of keratoconus. In most of the cases of may stop or slow down if done timely, but in few others even after timely c3r it may keep progressing (further aggravated by rubbing). Eye rubbing is an independent risk factor for developing keratoconus and definitely not to be done at any point of time. Also it will interfere with the healing process after the procedure.
Hope this helps.

Hello. By no amount of expertise or years of experience an ophthalmologist can predict if your myopia will increase above 5 dioptre. But yes since you are still in the growth phase of your life (23 years) chances are that it might.

Timely treatment with laser therapy can prevent from developing any kind of retinal ...more

Even if retinal detachment occurs, surgery is attempted to re-attach it so that a normal useful vision can be re...more

Ideally, one eye exam every year should help you to stay on top of your eye health, but some people might need to schedule more than one exam in a year. Vision can change quite a bit over the course of a year, especially for those over the age of 50, and it is important to know when you need to schedule an exam.
