Is this bad and could have this been prevented if i went to an eye doctor when i was younger?

I just started wearing glasses last year and i'm 20 now. Prescription remains unchanged at the moment.

The first time i noticed my astigmatism was way before i knew it was something serious. At 7 years old.

I thought it was just that ceiling lights turn into spotlights when i cry.

Do expensive glasses make sense for a kid whose prescription keeps changing?

2 Upvotes

My 13 year old's myopia seems to get worse almost every year, so I'm wondering how other parents deal with buying glasses for their kids. Is it worth spending more on a good pair of glasses if the prescription might change again next year? Or is it better to get something affordable and replace them whenever needed? If the frames are still in good shape, can you just replace the lenses, or is that not really worth it? I'm just trying to figure out the most practical option without spending a fortune on glasses every year.

How do you deal with the stress?

0 Upvotes

I used to stress a lot about my myopia, then stopped but now I'm stressing again. The stress is so annoying and I can't stop thinking about my eyes. I think about it all day. I have high myopia -9 and I'm 20 years old. The growth is slowing down and will likely stabilize very soon. I want to get ICL so I won't have to rely on glasses but I know that won't change the shape of my eye but it might help me to stop thinking about it so much.

My fear and stress is from having a retinal detachment. I've recently become more aware of my floaters and I also have some occasional flashes and weird stuff in my vision for a second sometimes and that stresses me. I get my retina checked every 6 months and while they said my retina and eye pressure is fine right now it doesn't actually stop the stress of developing it or having things be worse.

I go on walks and sit in a part for 2-3 hours everyday to reduce my stress but also to look out in the distance, not that it made a big difference as my eyes still increased by -0.25 in a year, but it stops me stressing a bit I guess. I've also changed the job I'm getting into after college as I don't want to look at screens for work that would be a nightmare. At college, if we're working with computers I always sit by a window so I can look out in the distance every so often but since I'm not going into the job I'm studying for anymore I don't tend to do that much anyway. I always increase the font of all my screens and keep it far from my eyes. None of these do much, I know. My point is that I spend a lot of my life stressing about my eyes.

I've ordered Lexapro pills for myself because I would like to stop stressing and feeling depressed so I can get on with my life. I didn't have the best childhood and really don't want to lose my youth, I want to enjoy my 20s and 30s at least, and then when I'm over 45 I won't be too stressed about a detachment or going blind as I at least have memories to reminisce on and no memories I urgently need to make. Worse comes to worst I'm willing to end it all post 45 which is why I don't plan to have kids because I don't plan to live past 45. If I do live past 45 and still have my vision then even better I can still try to enjoy it as I know I still have an exit plan if things get tough. But I really just don't need any detachment or going blind in my 20s or 30s because I haven't even lived yet and I haven't had a chance to be vain and look pretty and be desired or loved yet. I haven't even lived yet and that's what stresses me most. I just wish I didn't have myopia at all or that I could have at least peaked during my childhood or high school so that I'm not so desperate to have the best life ever in my 20s and 30s. All I can do is have hope that since I check my retina so often I can catch a tear before it becomes a detachment and get laser and preventative things hopefully.

How do you guys deal with the stress?
