Carry on: Congratulations on 6/6 vision. At your age it is possible that you might develop a very minor amount of near sightedness over the next 5-8 years but most likely you will preserve your 6/6 by doing nothing special. The only thing you should do is protect your eyes when in any situation where they might become injured using safety glasses and proper caution.
