Hello. What is the percentage of me going blind with my current state of myopia. I'm 13 years old, almost 14. I have high myopia hitting -0.8 degrees on the right and -0.75 on the left. I have an appointment with the optitions every 6 months to examine my eyes. Every time I go, they always discover an extra -0.05 - -0.15 added to my current myopia. I worry myself as I developed myopia since I was 8 years old. I'm probably in puberty and my eyes would get worse? At the current state of my myopia developing, would I go blind?
I think the best person to ask is your optometrist. Leave a message at his office, and he will have someone return the call.

I agree with what hoseclamps said. I don't think that it's likely that you will go blind because your eyes are still developing and that you need to bear that in mind that you will have adjustments along the way so it's not something to worry yourself to death over. Just ask an optometrist about it and see where you're headed because even though you're young, it's a good idea for you to know what you've got in store for you health wise! Keep us posted, okay?
