I know i get white spots when i do that. but this isn't something you should be asking on a forum, its something you hsould be getting checked out.

Is this the new trend nowadays. staring at lights? 
Have you ever considered looking into laser eye surgery? It would be cheaper in the long run since it costs anywhere from $500-$700 per eye and you dont have to buy contacts & lense solution every year which adds up to $120 dollars per year

I hear it can take up until the age of 25. I have to wait until my eyesight stops getting worse.

Bleh, 'real' doctors, think they know it all. Good thing you posted here where I, internet doctor, am.
Guess, your leg must go off (it's connected with eye, do not question me), but no worries, supposedly it grows back. Just like penis.

Laser Eye Surgery is just...scary....
I mean...its okay to get surgery with your eyes closed..but with them open, and all these instruments going in your eyes?
