Until the age of 6 or 7 years, children’s vision develops in a better direction as they grow and develop, but it is not normal for vision to decline as they grow taller.
Although the vision status of children or adolescents may change with growth and development in terms of eye axes, there is no exact correlation between the development of vision and changes in height, so it is not normal for vision to decline as a child grows taller. Before the age of six or seven years old, vision is fully developed, vision will gradually get better with the growth and development of height, to reach the normal standard of 1.0 and above.
With the increase in the demand for close-up eye use for study and recreation, as well as unhealthy eye use habits, there is a clear trend of severe myopia in children in terms of age of onset, severity, and rate of progression. This abnormal situation will occur without timely correction of increasingly poor vision.
It is important that children and adolescents pay attention to myopia in the family, society, and schools, and that they take active steps to prevent, detect, and correct myopia in a timely manner.
