% yr old -1.25 D myopia
My daughter was recently diagnosed with -1.25 myopia in both eyes. Though the machine gave -1.00 for both eyes after dilating, the doctor prescribed -1.25 and suggested we should use the glasses for reading and outdoor and even full time to get a habit. We are a bit concerned if making her wear the glasses make dependent on them. Could you please let us know if not wearing glasses till next year when she goes in 1st std ok? Or it will cause more harm and increase her number? Thanks.

She must wear glasses prescribed by the doctor. Myopia increases with age till the age of 18 atleast. What we're concerned is about amblyopia or lazy eye which might set in if glasses are not worn regularly
