>I have never heard anyone claim that glasses prevent the progression of myopia.

The article seems to claim that:

>Fortunately, just a few minutes a day with glasses or contact lenses that correct for blur stops the progression of myopia, which is why early vision testing and vision correction are important to limit the development of myopia. Eye checks for children are mandatory in some countries, such as the U.K. and now China, as well as most U.S. states.

That is nonsense. Tests are free for children, but my daughter only gets a test if I book one.
