The other day, I was diagnosed with a mild case of myopia. I was prescribed -0.50 lenses. I've had ghosted vision in dim lighting in both eyes since I was sixteen. I'm twenty-one now. I do a great deal of painting and designing, so I spend hours right up close to canvases and such. I worry that my vision will deteriorate over time. Will wearing my glasses in the evenings help slow this thing down? Also, does myopia cause headaches? I get about one a week.
And no one in my family had to get glasses so early in life. Usually people get them in their 40s. Isn't that odd?
