I've been wearing glasses since I was 9 and switched to contact lenses for the past 6 years. My eyesight keeps getting worse every year right now, my left eye is SPH 8.00 CYL 1.75 AX 140 BC 8.7 DIA 14.5 and my right eye is SPH 8.00 CYL 1.25 AX 030 BC 8.7 DIA 14.5. I'm really worried because I can't imagine living without contacts. Is there any way to stop my vision from worsening or even improve it? I'm 21 now are there any surgery options that could help fix this?

View allI've had diabetic retinopathy for around a year and already had laser treatment. My doctor is recommending laser surgery with silicone injections, but my diabetes is under control now are there any other options besides surgery that might work better for me?
Yes, there are other options besides laser surgery and silicone injections for managing diabetic retinopathy, particularly if your diabetes is now under control. Anti-VEGF injections and laser treatment are often considered the primary treatments. If those haven't been sufficient, or if complications like retinal detachment are present, vitrectomy might be necessary. However, with good blood sugar control, Anti-VEGF injections and further laser treatments can be very effective in stabilizing the disease and reducing vision loss.

My right eye CYL changed from 0.5 to 1 and SPH went from 3.75 to 3.5 does this mean my vision is getting worse or better? Also, my left eye has CYL 2.25 is that really bad? Should I consider surgery in the future or just stick with glasses for now?
