I am almost 19, and I have a farsighted eye and a nearsighted eye. I hate the way my eyes look in glasses--one of my eyes is magnified, and the other looks shrunk.
my prescription:
Right: +1.00 sphere, +1.00 cylinder, 120 axis
Left: -3.25 sphere, +.50 cylinder, 90 axis
I know that I am not yet 19, and my eyes will keep changing up to a certain age. However, I want to know how high my sphere numbers could get in my eyes before they level off (maximum possible estimate), considering that my eyes will get worse with time just because of age, until they finally level off. I'm assuming that nothing weird would happen to my eyes, like I would get cataracts. I'm afraid that, before my eyes level off, I might get to the point where I'll be wear a -7.00 lens in my left eye, and a + some number lens in the other eye, and I will look like a total weirdo in glasses.
Would wearing contacts help to minimize the difference in my eye sizes, as they are perceived?
