Fitting the eyes with rigid gas permeable contact lenses can act as a template and maintain the shape of the cornea thereby stopping or slowing the progression of near sightedness.
Me. I am an optometric physician.
firstly you are not going to go blind, be unable to go to university and have your future ruined. I can't imagine why your parents would say such a thing. the sort of eyesight you have is due to your eyeball being the wrong shape this changes as you grow - either for teh better or for the worse and there is nothing you can do to influence it. However eyesight can be corrected to normal using glasses /contacts for eyesight a great deal worse than yours currently is. Its a nuisance but you will be able to see and see normally. When you get older you may have the option of surgery to make it normal.
don't believe any of the ideas about eye exercises , food etc, making a difference to this. They are just scams.
I do not believe it can get better. You probable have what is known as progressive myopia. Eyesight in people who have progressive myopia gets worse over time, some faster than others.
Have progressive myopia (nearsightedness), with astimitism, lazy eye
