Answers:
Yes, your eyes are normal at your age to require a stronger prescription annually!. Your eyes probably won't change as much in your 20s and 30s; but when you are 40ish, you will probably need bifocals!. I am 56 and just recently went to an opthamologist, and my nearsightedness and astigmatism had gotten better, but I need stronger bifocals (or they keep making the print smaller! LOL)!. I commend you for having annual eye exams!. and that you are taking good care of your eyes!Www@Answer-Health@Com
What you are describing is the norm!. You are not necessary GROWING in your eyes, but your eyes are CHANGING!. My eyes continued to get more and more near-sighted until about age 25!.
