The left eye uncorrected visual acuity was 1.0 partial improving to 1.0 with -0.50 Diopter Cylinder (DC) at 10°. The myopia in her right eye continued to increase steadily until her last detailed ophthalmic examination in November 2018, at the age of 31 years, showed a refractive error of -6.75 Diopter Sphere with -0.5 Diopter Cylind..
