A member asked:
Typically, how long does it take for borderline myopia to progress to the point of needing glasses in someone 16 yrs old. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: If the first trace of myopia starts at age 16, there can be slow progression up to about age 24. The final amount will not b e too great with a start in the later teens. Glasses are needed when the vision is too blurry to be useful or comfortable.
