Unfortunately, myopia cannot be reversed. But you can slow down the progression in kids so it does not reach the levels of high myopia (e.g. -5D or 500 degrees or more) which can put them at higher risk of eye illnesses that can cause blindness, such as retinal detachment, cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
