Current medical status: High myopia and still increasing
Current medical treatment: Myopic eyeglasses
In most cases myopia becomes stable but in certain cases (degenerative or malignant myopia) the condition progressively gets worse.
The real causes for myopia occurrence and its progression are still unknown. It is believed that various genetic and environmental factors cause either eyeball elongation or increased curvature of the cornea or variation in the index of refraction of one or more ocular media.
You should consult an ophthalmologist about your eye condition.
