I am a 29 yr old female and have had annual eye doctor visits for years. I am wondering what the cause for sudden, large scale drops of diopter can be at my age. My doctor doesn't offer an answer. When I was pregnant with my daughter (3.5 years ago) I noticed a -2.0 drop in each eye. Subsequently, when my son was born 15 months ago, my eyes followed the same prescription change, dropping my diopter almost another 2 points in each eye.
I am no longer pregnant, and have not nursed in a year. Last year when I went to the eye doctor, my prescription was -7.50 in one eye, and -5.75 in the other. 2 weeks ago, I literally watched my vision worsen within a matter of 4 days. I waited 2 weeks and went to the eye doctor when it didn't improve. The eye that had been -7.5 was now -8.25 and my -5.75 eye was down to -7.50.
I know my pupils are 8.2 and 7.6. Also, my corneal tissue is 590 and 600. Not sure if that helps, or matters.
I wear ProClear soft lenses and have the following medical conditions.
My medical conditions are:
Hashimotos (immune system attacks thyroid)
De Quervain's (arthritis in wrists)
Demagraphish (hives form when skin is touched)
Asthma
I'm just wondering if I should be concerned or looking into health problems that could cause this.
Thank you very much for your time.
