If yes,what will be your advice about that i.e. at what age can I go for this? How much success rate of this surgery is? . . 2.) How to prevent myopia in my child as I heard this is a hereditary disease?

Hi, 1)Myopia can be corrected with laser surgery. You can plan it once your glass number stabilizes. (-1 is a very small power though) Please consult local ophthalmologist for complete eye evaluation. They will guide you further. 2) try to minimise your kids screen time and go for regular eye check up.
