Myopic progression

Myopic progression refers to the gradual worsening of nearsightedness over time. When someone is myopic, they see nearby objects clearly but struggle with distant ones. As myopia progresses, the eye’s shape changes, causing even distant objects to become blurry. This usually happens during childhood or adolescence when the eye is still growing. Factors like genetics, prolonged close-up activities, or insufficient outdoor time can influence this progression. Regular eye check-ups are important to monitor changes, and corrective lenses or other treatments can help manage visual clarity and prevent further deterioration.
