I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Patients with pathological myopia (ie, > −8 diopters) are at increased risk of retinal detachment due to axial elongation of the globe and peripheral retinal thinning. Lifetime risk of spontaneous retinal detachment in pathologic myopia is 15–200 times higher than in people with normal visual acuity.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hello, a “plus” (+) sign in front of the number means you are farsighted, and a “minus” (-) sign means you are nearsighted. If you had +1.5 in the age of 19 it is too much. And if you write wrong singh then -1.5 is not too much but chances of increment is very much, so go through ayurvedic treatment, and eye exercises, which is very useful for reducing myopic number.

High myopia is sometimes an inherited genetic condition, and is marked by the eyeball stretching and growing too long. This throws off the eyeball's normal proportions, so that incoming light focuses in front of the retina, instead of on it.

Starbursts, or a series of concentric rays or fine filaments radiating from bright lights, may be caused by refractive defects in the eye. Starbursts around light are especially visible at night, and may be caused by eye conditions such as cataract or corneal swelling, or may be a complication of eye surgery.
