A member asked:

Should i be concerned if i became myopic and i am currently 14, can my vision get better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May progress: Myopia commonly gets a little stronger through the teen years and the early twenties. You are very likely to need a little stronger power over time. As long as the correction gives you perfect vision, then there is little to worry about.
