A member asked:
How to stop the progression of myopia? i'm 28 years old, male, office work, -7 diopters with astigmatism
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little needed: At your age, myopia has run its course and there is little likelihood of further changes. You might be a good candidate for lasik as things have stabilized and the results should be good.
