Have You Noticed These Changes in Your Child?

Sometimes, changes in your child’s vision appear through everyday habits before you realize that the glasses prescription is changing.

Your child may:

Sit very close to the TV to see clearly
Hold a phone or tablet close to the face
Bring books closer while reading
Squint to see distant objects
Have difficulty seeing the classroom board
Complain that things look blurred from a distance
Have difficulty recognizing people or objects from far away
Move closer to see things that were previously visible from a distance
Need stronger glasses than before
Have their glasses prescription changed repeatedly

Simple Myopia or Progressive Myopia?

Not every child with myopia has the same pattern.

Simple Myopia

Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurred, while appropriate glasses can help correct the blurred vision.

For some children, the prescription may remain relatively stable. For others, myopia can increase during childhood and adolescence.

Progressive Myopia

When myopia continues to increase over time, a child may need stronger glasses prescriptions repeatedly.

This is why repeated changes in your child’s prescription should be monitored rather than simply replacing the glasses each time.

Degenerative Myopia

More severe forms of myopia can involve changes to the structure of the eye and require appropriate medical evaluation and monitoring.

An increasing glasses prescription alone does not mean that your child has progressive myopia.

What is happening with your child’s eyes as the myopia changes?

Talk to an eye expert to understand their condition and its progression.

What Parents Should Know

A child needing stronger glasses does not automatically mean they have degenerative myopia.

However, repeated changes in the glasses prescription should not be overlooked.

Parents should know:

Myopia can change as children grow.
Some children may have relatively stable myopia, while others may experience progressive myopia.
Sitting close to the TV, squinting, or struggling to see the classroom board can be signs of difficulty seeing clearly at a distance.
A change in glasses prescription is important information for the eye doctor.
Previous and current prescriptions can help show how your child’s myopia has changed over time.
An increasing prescription alone cannot determine whether a child has degenerative myopia.
Regular professional evaluation can help monitor changes and identify when further assessment may be appropriate.

The important question is “How is my child’s vision and prescription changing over time?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can degenerative and progressive myopia be reversed?

With stage-by-stage treatment and the use of glasses, the lens power may decrease. However, vision cannot be increased beyond its existing potential.

Can my child's glasses be fully removed?

Yes, multiple courses of treatment may be needed to completely avoid the use of glasses.

My child's eye power keeps increasing. Does this mean they have progressive myopia?

Repeated increases in eye power can indicate myopia progression. A proper eye examination is needed to understand your child’s condition.

Is progressive myopia the same as degenerative myopia?

No. Progressive myopia refers to myopia that is increasing over time. Degenerative or pathologic myopia is a more severe condition and requires clinical diagnosis.

Can my child consult you if they are already wearing glasses?

Yes. You can share your child’s current prescription and previous eye reports for a doctor-led assessment.

Why does my child keep needing stronger glasses?

Myopia can progress during childhood and adolescence. A professional eye examination can help assess your child’s refractive error and overall eye health.

Should my child stop wearing glasses during Ayurvedic treatment?

No. Do not stop or change your child’s prescribed glasses or other eye care without consulting their eye-care professional.

Is sitting close to the TV a sign of myopia?

It can be a sign that a child is having difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, but it does not by itself diagnose myopia.

Can I know whether my child's myopia is simple or progressive from the glasses prescription?

The prescription is useful information, but it is not enough by itself to determine the complete condition. Your child’s eye history and appropriate examination are important.
