While it is understandable that you want to reverse your child's myopia quickly, take into account that it is quite likely that their eyes are currently getting worse. Stopping that progression is the first big step, and even if that is all you manage, that is a win. Your child may or may not choose to reverse their myopia, and hard as it is for a parent to accept, that is their choice. But enabling them to stop it's progression and giving them the option to reverse it, now that you know it is possible, is an advantage that most people don't have; children and adults alike. Please don't make any changes to your child's correction till you can make an informed decision.

'''Please don't make any changes to your child's correction till you can make an informed decision'''. Communicate with your child about their vision, even preschool aged children can relay their own feedback. And do your own measurements. But keep it light, keep in mind how you would deal with your child concerning any other matter. It might be helpful to consider that myopia control and reversal is less like potty training (go hard for a few weeks and it's typically done with) and more like getting them to pick up after themselves (every parent knows this is a long haul lesson).

Obviously there is the whole rest of the method to add to this and if you need more help, Jake has an add-on to the adult [[BackTo20/20]] program.
