your son has a condition called MYOPIA which tends to progress rapidly at this age then reaches peak at 10-15 years and gradually stabilizes by age of 18-20 years. There are no medications to slow the process as it is genetically determined. regular check ups every 6 months with changing of glasses if progressive.Food supplements are only for strengthening and not for arresting the progression.
