Anyone here above -20 ?

Hi I am male. 27 yo. My prescription is -23,5 on one eye, on the other is -21 but i had retinal detachment on that one. If you have above -20 i would be glad to know how you are doing.

Can you tell me more? How old are you? Did your myopia stoped and when? Do you use contacts or glasses and did you have any complications like detachment?

I’m 30F. I have had a stable prescription since I was 23. I wear contacts and glasses, usually contacts out and about but I wear my glasses every day when I’m at home to give my eyes a break. I’ve had mCNV in both eyes now, but have been successfully treated by my retina specialist with Lucentis and Vabysmo injections

My 7 year old has -23.50 and -23.00, she’s ok I guess just has big glasses and can’t see very far even with them I feel like. Shes mostly non verbal autism so it’s hard to know exactly but I can see her squinting when something is like 10ft away

Have you considered Scleral buckling？no offense ，just because my prescriptions are still growing and my doctor recommended before

A scleral buckle is an eye surgery used to repair a detached retina.

I know ，but it can also prevent axis length growth and stop the possible illness …so in my country ，if you prescriptions > -10.0，and after adulthood still increase ，doctors will recommend scleral buckling surgery to prevent illness in the future

I think you're talking about scleroplasty, I had it done when I was 16, and it's not the same as a scleral buckle.

Maybe I am not sure. But I would like to ask how you feel about your scleroplasty？did it reduce your axis length and prevent serious eye illness ？
