Hello,

Let me explain the problem. I've been wearing glasses ever since I was 6, being 19 now and turning 20 in a week, my eyesight has gradually been worsening to the point that I have -7D on both eyes. After a checkup, I was told that the cataract I had in my eye since birth couldn't affect my eyesight in anyway, and that everything else, including my eye pressure was fine.

Until a week ago. I started having this continuous feeling that something is pressuring in my left eye, accompagned by my vision having been getting a little bit worse. I do not know if I should be concerned or not about this.

    I'm so sorry you're dealing with this issue, and at such a young age. Do not hesitate to go back to the doctor for another evaluation. See an ophthalmologist. I'm not a medical professional but i believe it's common for prescriptions to change up until your early 20's until stabilizing for while. Still it's important that you see your doctor and voice your concerns about what is going on. Keep us posted.
