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?

The progression of your myopia (-1.5 to -2.00D in the left eye and -3.25 to -3.5D in the right eye) despite being over 18 is concerning, but it's not uncommon; the age at which myopia stabilizes varies, but typically, it plateaus between 20-30 years old; however, nearsightedness can continue to progress with prolonged near work, like excessive mobile and computer use; to slow the progression,

I'm a bit worried because I used to masturbate a lot when I was in 12th grade, and I would often play sports right after. Now, I only do it once a week or every two weeks. I'm 22 years old and recently noticed I need glasses with a prescription of 0.5. Could my past habits of frequent masturbation have affected my health or eyesight? I would really like to know.
Masturbation does not have any direct negative effects on your health or eyes. Wearing glasses with a power of 0.5 is a common prescription for mild vision issues and is not typically related to masturbation. It is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle with regular exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep for overall well-being. If you have any specific concerns about your health or eyes, it is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist for a thorough evaluation.
