Myopia is also possible in adulthood.
The development of myopia is related to genetic factors and unhealthy eye habits. In most cases, myopia occurs in childhood or adolescence, and the increase in myopia gradually slows down or stops in adulthood as the eye stops developing.
However, there are some adult patients who still develop myopia if they use their eyes excessively. Therefore, even after adulthood, we should not let our guard down and should pay attention to develop good eye habits.
Patients who experience symptoms such as blurred vision should go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital in time to be examined by a doctor to see if it is caused by myopia or other eye diseases, and be treated appropriately under the doctor’s guidance.
