This is a huge retrospective study that looked at the progression rate of myopia in almost 7000 kids in India.
So here is what I am personally taking away from this study:
If I see a kid under age 15 that myopic and is progressing more than -0.50 per year….I think you should consider some form of myopia control.
If I see a kid under the age of 10 that has become myopic...that means they are at high risk for becoming a high myope (over -6) as an adult and I think you should strongly consider options of myopia management for them.
This study emphasizes the importance of annual eye exams by your optometrist starting well below the age of 5.
