This results in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-exams\/eye-exams\/the-4-main-refractive-errors-clearly-explained\/\">refractive error<\/a> that affects distance vision clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Myopia is typically diagnosed in childhood and often worsens over time, usually stabilizing by around age 20, when the eyes reach their adult size.<\/p>\n<p>The most common signs and symptoms of myopia include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Blurry distance vision<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Squinting<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Sitting at close proximity to the TV or computer screen<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Holding books close to the eyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>The dangers of high myopia<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Since myopia progression is common, unfortunately, the inconvenience of wearing corrective lenses is not your only concern.<\/p>\n<p><b>Studies reveal that people with myopia are 2x more likely to develop glaucoma.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While lower levels of myopia, or an optical prescription below -3.0D, presents a risk to your child\u2019s eye health, higher levels of myopia significantly increase your risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later on in life, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/glaucoma-guide\/glaucoma\/\">glaucoma<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When comparing a person with an optical prescription greater than -6.0D to the general population, statistics show a much higher risk of eye disease among those with myopia:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Glaucoma: 14x risk<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Retinal Detachment: 22x risk<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Macular Degeneration: 41x risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What is glaucoma?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Glaucoma is the number one cause of blindness, worldwide.
