When do our eyes stop growing progressively worse? Many people who have vision correction, glasses, contacts, the like, we know that our vision lessen progressively. However there is a point in time, after several years, that our eyes become much slower in their degeneration, isn't there? I think that my optometrist told me this point was at about 25 years of age, but I just wanted some collaboration. Thanks!

Most myopes stop progressing between the ages of 14 and 25, about the time that growth stops (earlier for girls, latter for boys) but it is not possible to accurately predict when any one particular person will stop.
Some people continue to progress all their life.

Actually, my optometrist told me that it could happen anywhere from 26-34ish years. I'm 36, and the biggest change happened when I was about 30 in a two year span. It's slowed down considerably since then, I haven't had my lenses changed since. (very small change, not enough to change my lenses yet). I've also heard it can hit another dip around menopause, but I don't know how accurate that is.

It would usually be around 18.
I'm currently 16 and my optician has told me for many years that my eyes will continue you to get worse till I reach the age of 18.
I suppose it could also depend on the person.
If you continue you to not wear glasses/contacts on a regular basis your eyes will continue you to get worse to any age.
