It is not at all unusual for myopia to develop and progress as a kid’s eyes change shape slightly as the skull changes as they grow during adolescence. It will probably stabilize when he stops growing, probably in his early to mid 20s
Next Steps
I suggest to monitor your child’s eye power every 6 months and consult ophthalmologist for Myopia progression control. We can not erase myopia completely but definitely control its progression
