Q: Will wearing myopic glasses make my child’s prescription grow faster? A: Myopia in children will generally increase by 50 to 100 degrees per year. This has nothing to do with wearing glasses or not, you just don’t wear glasses, myopia will also deepen. Wearing the right myopia glasses, paying attention to eye hygiene, and taking proper rest will slow down the development of myopia. However, after the age of 18, myopia will be stable. Unless there is a pathological genetic myopia, myopia may continue to grow throughout life.
