Not to scare you or anything but to just reinforce the fact that you should incorporate regular retinal exams. My daughter is also around -10 and in a recent eye exam they did the retinal imaging thing (that i always thought was just an upsell scam). Well they found what they thought was retinoschisis. They referred her to a retina center (which of course took nearly a month).
At that exam they found that her left eye had substantial retinal detachment and scheduled her for a scleral buckle procedure the following Tuesday to avoid any further progression. Aside from seeing some sparks every now and then there were no symptoms. Ocular migraines run on both sides of the family so she wasn't too worried about it.
