So this might be an obscure one to be worried about but nonetheless, here I am.

Basically once I have found out that this exists, I have been freaking out cause I fit the bill for it: young (27), male, nearsighted and white. Luckily no family history but everything else is there and I'm just terrified.

Seems like information is all over the place, it's rare or it's common depending on where you look and just seems like it's all but guaranteed for me.

So far my eye doctor has seen nothing but the age range is between 20-40 so there is time. Basically I need to get out of this funk cause I have zero control over this but I'm just depressed over it.
