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've been using a new prescription from my doctor for about a month, but my vision in my right eye is still blurry. The doctor mentioned it would take about 7 to 10 days to adjust, but it's already been a month. Any ideas why this might be happening? Do you think I've permanently lost 66 vision?

I'm dealing with this issue where my eyes start burning randomly, and when it happens, it can last the whole day with intervals of around 23 hours. I'm currently on atomoxetine, which I've read can rarely cause dilated pupils. I've attached a picture of my eyes. Could there be any other reasons for this, and is there anything I can do to help it?
