I'm 19 and I've recently noticed that my prescription has gone up, from 1.5 to 2.00D in my left eye and 3.25 to 3.5D in my right. I thought my vision would stabilize after turning 18, but it seems like it keeps getting worse every time I see my doctor. Is this progressive myopia going to ever level out? If so, when might that happen? I'm worried that if it keeps changing, it'll become a big problem. I've become quite a mobile addict, and I'm also a computer science student. Could you offer some advice?

View allI'm on Travatan drops because of being a glaucoma suspect and have been using them for about 50 days now. Lately, I've been getting headaches and pain around my eyes, so they suggested I see a neurologist. Now, they think it's cluster headache and want me to start on prednisolone. Could you tell me if there are any side effects from using travoprost and prednisolone together?
Both Travoprost (a glaucoma drop) and Prednisolone (a steroid) can be used together, but it's important to monitor for potential side effects like increased intraocular pressure or changes in eye health with long-term use of steroids. It's always best to follow your doctor's advice and report any unusual symptoms.
