Ok here guys Dr. Anthony Is it possible to progress myopia by 5 diopters in 5 years in your late 20s, from rubbing your eyes and sleeping on stomatch? Would that be keratoconus? Or what exactly gets damaged from doing that to cause this high nearsigthness?
Rubbing your eyes can certainly cause damage and warp your cornea. Same with sleeping on your stomach if pressure is applied to your eyes whilst you sleep. I would definitely get checked out by your local optometrist and they can identify if it is Keratoconus or something else. Would love to know the cause after you have had a checkup.
I have a question that I hope you can please please respond does sleeping on your face like almost putting pressure on eye like I sleep on my stomach and notice as I wake up I see spots almost like when an arm goes to sleep then you move and blood starts circulating...can I go blind by sleeping stomach side down and eyes on pillow where it puts pressure?
Dr anthony so the symtoms im having are they irreversable if this is the case ...I see spots been to the eye doctor and eye specialist and they said the inside of my eye looks perfectly fine ...would damge show up on eye exam?
Dr Anthony Malouf you awesome thank you 🙏

Absolutely. We didn't evolve to sleep on our stomach.

How did you go with this? Were you referring to floaters? Ophthalmologists that work at the back of the eye can help with floaters.
