Myopia in children can be managed conservatively or surgically. If the degree of myopia is relatively mild, optical correction with prescription eyeglasses—under the guidance of a qualified ophthalmologist—is typically recommended to help alleviate progression. In cases of high myopia, laser refractive surgery may be advised in consultation with an ophthalmologist to facilitate a quicker return to normal vision.
