Puberty per say has no direct relation in causing Myopia. If you have a diagnosed Myopia (minus number glasses) then it's advisable to wear them as much as possible. A prolonged use will not result in a change of number but puts less strain on the eyes. Usually after 20 years of age the number stabilizes. Till then it's advisable to get refraction done by a lot ophthalmologist. Yes you should wear your glasses while using iPad
