Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error of -4.25 and -4.75 dioptres.
This indicates myopia and the treatment of the condition is by use of appropriate spectacles.
The refractive errors are known to increase till 21-23 years. The rapid progression can be reduced by use of glasses regularly and using more of vitamin A rich foods.
Once the progression is stopped you can undergo laser refractive surgery like LASIK.
Thank you
