What does happens if myopia groes faster than normally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is normal: For myopia to progress slowly in pre-adolescents such as yourself. It can progress more rapidly in adolescence. We give stronger glasses or contact lenses during this time. When the vision stabilizes in the late teen's or early 20's, then the laser can be used to solve the myopia.

I have a habit of blinking my eyes hard & fast. Sometime it cause pain while doing it. Maybe it's because of dry eyes or it has become my habit. So does it cause any damage to eyes like retinal tear or detachment as I'm high myopic & have floaters?
