I'm pretty sure eyesight, if already bad, degrades the quickest in your younger years and flattens when you get older. That's how it happened when I was growing up, and the doctors assured me that I wasn't going to go blind as my experience was "normal."
I haven't had a significant change in eyesight for a while now. What's fascinating is how each doctor has a different interpretation of what a proper prescription is. Some like to give too strong, some too weak.
I switched doctors a while ago, due to a move. The new doctor told me my prescription and I was a little surprised by the difference. I asked her why such a change and she showed me what the world would look like if I was using the prior prescription and it was like seeing a massive blur.
She said she had no idea how I was able to see at all. I was using that prescription for one year, and I didn't have any problems seeing anything before.
(I wear contacts and I sort of need to know my prescription so I know what box goes to what eye as my left and right are different. When I wore glasses, I had no clue what it was)
