That’s either legally blind or really close. I’ve never seen anyone over a 5.0 and they couldn’t see two inches in front of their face. Since you are 19 I’m going to say that it will probably get better with time and then it will level off. Just do things now to prevent it front getting worse like not reading in low light and things like that.
It’s not that bad. I have an astigmatism in both of my eyes and my right eye is -5.25 and my left is -6.0, so I know about bad vision. It stayed the same for about two or three years, but just recently got worse. I now have to wear special contacts for an astigmatism, but it’s not a big deal. You can’t even tell the difference besides price! lol.
There is nothing bad about it. It is easily correctable with glasses/ contacts/ laser.
Good luck!
