Meh. I have retinopathy of prematurity and -9.25 and -11.23 single vision lenses. My ROP was scored at level 3 of 5 generally speaking (I am a twin, my twin does not have ROP), my rop is considered stable. I get retina checkups every 6mo.

I've also had 2 retinal holes and 1 horse shoe tear across both eyes in the last 3-4 years... And cataract surgery in my worst eye last year implanting a mono-vision IOL. I am 43 years old now.

Everyone in this thread worrying about your -2 and -3 myopia can just go sit down ... Lol.

My biggest concern at the moment is the slow moving cataract in my "good" eye, I'd rather not get surgery for ~10 years if it can be avoided.... I write code for a living ...

Everyone's eyes age and deteriorate as we get older. My eyes are simply more prone to complications due to the ROP as they never fully developed correctly due to the incubator I was placed in at birth (born 2mo early)...
