Mild myopia

2022-08-05 15:36:35
My daughter, 15-year-old, has blurred vision in her left eye since 6 months. On testing, she had mild myopia and doctor suggested glasses. But she does not want to wear glasses now. Will this increase if she does not wear glasses?

Hi,  There is a possibility of increase in glass number if she doesn't wear glasses regularly. She can use contact lenses if she feels that glasses are cosmetically unappealing.
