When does your vision stabilize?

Okay, so basically my vision has been declining since I was 10. I'm almost 16 now, and my eyes are REALLY bad.

Left eye: -5.00
Right eye: -3.00

I had an eye exam today.

I used to wear RGPs (hard contacts) and my eyes were kinda stabilized, but I switched to soft contacts two years ago. Last year, my eyes worsened by -.5, and this year, it was by -.25, so they didn't get as bad, but they're still declining.

Anyway, is the fact that my eyes were a little more stabilized this year a sign that my eyes MIGHT be stabilizing?

I've heard your eyes stabilize in your 20s, but if my eyes keep declining I'll be practically blind by then...

I don't really know but I heard that when you stop growing they stabilize, it might be because of the small changes that take place with the shape of your eye and head, but yea, I stopped growing at 18, and my eyes got just a very little bit worst in my 20's and have been stable since then, i am 35 and it has been a long time since there was any change

So, I think if you don't have much growing left to do, not much more change will take place
