I am a 16 year old and have been diagnosed with myopia since I was 8. I apologise for using wrong terms in advance, since I am not too familiar with medical terms. I wish to become a software engineer, which requires me to prevent increase in my eye power. My eye power, when last tested was around 4, which is about an year and a half ago. I haven't stepped out since the Covid situation hit my country (India), and thus haven't been able to get my eye tested. However, I have had to use an enormous amount of screens due to online classes, etc. and I haven't been able to look at far objects since a long time.
I wanted to know a test I can take at home, just to give me an assurance that my eyes have not degraded to an extent which could be really harmful, in which case I would need to limit my screen time as much as possible. I plan on getting a LASIK done after I reach the required age but I need to keep my eye power under control for it. Also, professional opinions on whether LASIK is a safe option, and whether I should get it done would be highly appreciated and I would be grateful to you forever.
Thanks in advance, Ravi Arora
