  It is said that the myopia progression will not stop if the short sighted problem is caused by the after period development with the bad habit of using eyes. However, when you get old like 45 years old, the eyes may get the presbyopia. It is the balance of these two kinds of eyes problems that makes the symptom of myopia not serious. If you still keep on the bad habits of using eyes, the myopia progression will not stop.
