My mother did not want me to have glasses as kid, because glasses damage your eyes. It is a scam of the optometrists. They sell you glasses to damage your eyes, so they can sell you even more glasses later.
So when I became nearsighted, I did not wear glasses until I was almost an adult.
The myopia remained rather stable with -1 to -1.5 D. Which fits the distance of the computer screen. It was very unhealthy that I spend 12 h a day programming thinking I was a professional teenage software engineer.
But I got really bad astigmatism with -3.4 D according to an aberrometer.
Perhaps myopia turns into astigmatism if you squint too much?
- daquisu 4y ago> Perhaps myopia turns into astigmatism if you squint too much? In my case no. I started with -2.5 for myopia, and was squinting pretty hard for a few months before that. Had no astigmatism Then I got a bad habit of scratching my eyes whenever I slept too little time. While this happened my astigmatism increased by 0.25 D each year, for 4 years in a row
- benibela 4y agoI do not do scratching. But perhaps sleeping on the stomach is bad
