Brief Answer:
Stable myopia

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
Though I have not been able to ascertain your age in details supplied by you I can presume it to be at least late 20s or early thirtoes.
If a myopia is stable for 12 years we can safely presume it is non progressive and stable .
We need regular follow up,including yearly retinal examination especially peripheral retina to be examined by indirect ophthalmoscopy and I want you to keep a record of findings so that any change,if there can be monitored..
Do get back to me in case you have any further query in this regard,with a note about of age.
