I've had to go to the eye doctor every Two years, if not a little sooner since I was 16. Before 16 it was every year on the dot.

That's what does have me a bit worried because I have been told that if I've noticed even the smallest change in how I see, I need to get back to the doctor asap.

Add that this is not small, I am nervous....
