Will myopia prescription keep increasing?

Myopia usually refers to nearsightedness. Whether the degree of myopia will continuously increase depends on the individual circumstances. If good eye habits are maintained, the degree typically will not keep increasing; however, with poor eye habits, the myopia may progressively worsen. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If you have myopia but maintain good eye-use habits, such as keeping an appropriate viewing distance, controlling the duration of eye use, maintaining correct posture, and using your eyes in an environment with suitable lighting, the degree of myopia may remain stable or increase at a significantly slower rate.

Poor eye-use habits, such as viewing objects too closely, prolonged eye use, incorrect posture, or using your eyes in overly dim or excessively bright lighting, may lead to ciliary muscle spasm within the eye. If eye fatigue persists without relief, the degree of myopia may worsen.

To prevent and control the progression of myopia, it is important to maintain good eye hygiene. Rest your eyes for 10 minutes every 40 to 50 minutes by looking into the distance. Ensure sufficient outdoor activity time, as natural light helps slow the progression of myopia.
