Myopia progression: Your child's eye is growing as he is growing which creates a degree of myopia. The vision 20/20 is different than the degree of lens power required to normalize the vision. Your son is progressing in a fairly typical sequence and he is likely to get more myopic until the mid to late 20s. This is a typical progression and not worrisome and his overall power need is not great.

Yes: Progression of myopia (nearsightedness) is normal through one's teens.
