Your child is likely to develop high myopia. Such cases are good at studies but do not play or mix with the children because of shortsightedness. For time being you should get a careful refraction done and get the glasses for him as per prescription. You should get him periodically checked up at least once a year. When the condition stabilizes, he can undergo refractive surgery with laser to remove the glasses.
