You&#8217;re not alone: Many parents watch with concern as their child&#8217;s vision seems to get worse, despite wearing glasses or contacts. At <a href=\"https:\/\/helloeyelab.com\/cn\/\">\u773c\u79d1\u9a8c\u5149\u533b\u751f<\/a>, we want to help families understand and manage these changes through <a href=\"https:\/\/helloeyelab.com\/cn\/services\/ortho-k\/\">myopia management solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Myopia can worsen when your child&#8217;s eye continues growing longer than normal, and several everyday factors can influence this process, including too much screen time, not enough outdoor activity, and even how they wear their glasses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Your Child&#8217;s Eyes Change with Myopia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your child has <a href=\"https:\/\/opto.ca\/health-library\/myopia-nearsightedness\">myopia<\/a>, their eye grows too long from front to back. This makes distant objects look blurry because light doesn&#8217;t focus correctly on the retina (the back of the eye).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Myopia typically develops during childhood and the teenage years when the eyes are growing. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s a progressive condition\u2014once it starts, the eye usually continues to grow longer over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs Your Child&#8217;s Myopia May Be Getting Worse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might notice changes in your child&#8217;s behaviour between eye exams that signal their vision is getting less clear. These signs can help you catch progression early:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Squinting more frequently when looking at distant objects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sitting closer to the TV or holding books very close<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent headaches or eye strain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complaints about blurry vision at school<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rubbing eyes often or excessive tearing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular <a href=\"https:\/\/opto.ca\/eye-health-library\/eye-exam\">comprehensive eye exams<\/a> can help track these changes and adjust treatment plans accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Factors That Can Influence Myopia Progression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Too Much Screen Time and Close-Up Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your child spends hours looking at nearby objects for long periods, like computers, tablets, or smartphones, the visual signals received by the eye can be altered. These visual signals can influence myopia progression in some children. Fifteen minutes of a near task followed by a 5 minute break is a good idea for anyone spending time on screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Enough Outdoor Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/opto.ca\/eye-health-library\/playing-outdoors-can-help-maintain-childrens-eyesight\">outdoor time significantly helps protect children&#8217;s vision<\/a>. Children who don\u2019t spend at least 1\u20132 hours outside each day may face a higher risk of myopia progression. Natural outdoor light helps regulate healthy eye growth in ways that indoor lighting can\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Family History and Genetics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or your partner has myopia, your child has a higher chance of developing and experiencing faster progression. Genetic factors can influence how your child&#8217;s eyes grow and develop their shape over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Glasses and Contacts Can Affect Progression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular glasses and contacts weren&#8217;t designed to slow progression\u2014they just help your child see clearly. Specialized myopia-control lenses work differently from regular prescriptions by helping to slow eye growth. Learning about the <a href=\"https:\/\/opto.ca\/eye-health-library\/differences-between-soft-and-hard-contact-lenses\">different types of contact lenses<\/a> can help you make informed decisions about your child&#8217;s treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens if Myopia Keeps Getting Worse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" data-attachment-id=\"7182\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/helloeyelab.com\/cn\/what-causes-myopia-to-worsen\/image-19\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?fit=1600%2C1050&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1050\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?fit=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?fit=640%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?resize=640%2C420&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C672&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C504&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1008&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?resize=18%2C12&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?resize=1200%2C788&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/helloeyelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-1.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uncontrolled myopia progression can lead to serious problems later in your child&#8217;s life.
