I know this will sound strange but you likely will be grateful for being nearsighted when you get into your 40s. That's because we generally don't have a problem with reading small print or seeing close up when we aren't wearing glasses or contacts. For some reason, nearsighted people don't develop the age-related farsightedness that many middle aged people have. It feels weird to take off my glasses when I read something when most people my age have to put on their reading glasses.

Believe it or not your eyes need a really healthy diet. Plenty of green vegetables (Vitamin D) help your eyes enormously.
You can take Vitamin D in Pill form.
My daughter is minus 750 so I wouldn't get too excited. She is 37 and wears her glasses for an excellent correction. Although she had retinal tearing at 19 and even with testing they did not find it. She saw black holes. But fortunately the tissue lay ed back down and healed itself.
You are just enormously near sighted. You must have excellent eye care, Preferably an Ophthalmologist (annual exams) you could have problems, so just take really good care of your eyes.
Without excellent care retinal tearing is a possibility in near sightedness, as the retina gets thinner and thinner. That is what causes blindness.
Eat really healthy and plenty of vegetables. Your body is made of what you eat. To keep your organs healthy you must eat healthy.

No, you will not go blind, unless your optometrist told you that it was due to some sort of disease. It should settle down as you get older. My eyes stopped getting worse when i was in my mid-20s. I then got lasik and my eyes have been 20-20 for the past 10 years.

That's something an optometrist can tell you/predict. You could always go the way of lasik. I've heard it worked wonders for some people, but there is also a slight chance that it could make things worse.

No, your eyesight gets better and worse over the years... Consult an optometrist if you are still worried about it.
