I'm myopic in one eye and I've been prescribed with glasses, and I should wear them all the time. I've been wearing my glasses for a month and a half now and I noticed that my eyesight seems to be worse when I take them off. The left eye's (myopic) vision seem to change. It feels a bit blurry when I look from the middle of the lens, but clearer when I look from the edges. When using both eyes I can see much better, there isn't any problem though. I mostly do close work (writing, using electronics etc) and some say that wearing myopic glasses makes it worse and should only be used when looking things afar (I sit the farthest from the board during classes) so should keep on using my glasses when I'm doing close work?

When will my eyesight stabilise? (If at all). Laser eye surgery with astigmatism?
I'm 22 (23 later this year), and have been wearing glasses since I was around 7 years old.
My left eye is around -4.50 and my right eye is -2.50. Every year I go to the opticians, my eyes seem to deteriorate and I usually need a new prescription.
I have just got some disposable contact lenses, too, and my right contact lens is a slightly weaker prescription than my current one because of the astigmatism in that eye, and there not being any disposable contact lenses to that power atm.
I'm wondering if it IS true that your eyesight stabilises in your mid 20s? Ideally, I want my eyes to deteriorate as little as possible, as the more they deteriorate, the more I will be unable to wear my contact lenses.
Also, I hear it's possible to get laser eye surgery with astigmatism, but also that astigmatism seems to get worse with age - so how would that be possible?
Thanks for any explanations!
Added (1). Also, just for reference, I'm short sighted.
Added (2). My contact lenses are already Toric. The details are:
L: SPH: -4.50, CYL: -1.25, AX: 170
R: SPH: -2.75. CYL: -2.25, AX: 180

Do I have marfan syndrome?
I'm a boy and I'm 14 years old and I'm worried that I have marfan syndrome. I am kind of tall and skinny, but I'm not unusually tall, and I have pectus carinatum. My fingers aren't that long, but they aren't perfectly straight either. I also noticed some stretch marks on my lower back, but I have grown a lot recently and I think it might just be from growing. I don't have ectopia lentis, but I'm nearsighted and I wear contact lenses. I've been to the doctor before about my rib, and they never said I had marfan syndrome, but I never mentioned that I was concerned that I had it. Also the roof of my mouth is kind of high. Do you think I have it? I hope I don't.

Vision test on a medical for working on the railway?
I've previoisly been working on the railway for few years but now moved somewhere else and want me to do another medical I had the same problem when I done it back then and I just want some answers. I wear contact lenses and I also have a lazy eye have had it since birth but when I do the vision test they try tell me both eyes need to meet up to the same requirements? Having a lazy eye is something you adapt to from your brain with my normal eye it make my overall vision fine which meets up to the requirements! But they are trying to get me to wear glasses on top of contact lenses to make my lazy eye better but that will never make any difference I no other people must work on the railway with a lazy eye too just want some answers or information? I no lazy eye is not the correct term but I can't temember the name of it. Many thanks.

Cartilage Piercing cleaning with contact solution?
Okay, so i got my cartilage pierced with a needle (if this has any effect) and i ran out of the cleaning solution they gave me so on a whim I went and bought a saline contact lens solution because it has the same active ingredient as the professional solution (sodium chloride) which is the same active ingredient in the saline contact solution.
Is it okay to keep using this stuff?
If not what can I use and don't tell me hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol because you shouldn't used them because they slow down the healing process?
Thanks

If you have astigmatism in both eyes do you see better with your glasses than contacts?
I know there are contacts for astigmatism now, but I'm talking about regular contacts.
I see better with my glasses that include the measure of astigmatism, than my regular contact lenses.
Is that normal?
Do contacts for astigmatism work well?
Added (1). Great answer, thanks!

Is there that big of a difference between BC 8.4 and 8.3 contact lens?
I'm trying to get rid of the Acuvue Oasys brand b/c they always crinkle up on me or get those ripples around the edges and I can't wear them because they sting. I want to go back to the brand I had before my doctor changed me, which was Acuvue Advanced, only the only size they have are BC 8.3. The Oasys are BC 8.4.

Different eye color changing contact lens?
I would really love to have different color eyes but I don't want to have a risky operation so I thought if it is possible to have different eye color changing lens even though I don't need contact lens? Like, my eyes are compeletly fine, I don't need glasses or something like this, so lens only for changing it?
