A member asked:
At what age does nearsightedness stabilize? and what does it mean if it has become stable? does that mean the vision will stop changing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no age when this stabilizes. If it is stable, it means nothing has changed but it doesn't mean that it won't change in the future.
