So I finally went for the eye checkup

I'm 22 and my glass prescription now reads -4.00 sph and -1.00 cyl in the right eye. For left eye, it reads-2.50 sph and -0.75 cyl. I'm worried sick. It's because I'm a computer science undergrad and I'll be working on computers my entire life...How long before I lose my vision :(

you will be fine. vision changes over the years so need new glasses regularly. you don't go blind from being out of focus. how are your classes going??? doing well in them???

@trackboy Thank you. I realise that I'm just anxious more than anything. I'm currently looking for a job :) I'm in my final year of college, and we don't have classes right now.

@beingawesome the lens gets stiffer as you get older so not as much focus range so you notice it being off more as you get older. most people have their glasses change every year or two. what is your major?? ready for final year of college?? why don't you have classes? would be time for your fall semester to start.
