No. You are probably referring to spectacles like Hoya MiYOSMART or Myopilux. These were made specifically to slow myopia in children. Adult-onset myopia is different from child myopia.
Adult-onset myopia often means low to moderate myopia. Meanwhile, high myopia is more common in childhood-onset myopia. Adults develop myopia due to the long hours of doing activities that require intense visual focus.
Some symptoms of adult myopia include:
- blurry vision when looking at objects in the far distance
- squinting to see more clearly
- headaches from eyestrain
- excessive blinking
- difficulty seeing at night
Child myopia is often hereditary. In most cases, it will continue to progress until the age of 20, when the eyeball stops growing. Some of the symptoms of childhood myopia include:
- squinting the eyes when looking at objects
- headaches
