I would worry more about the high myopia and consider consulting with a couple of well known pediatric ophthalmologists to see if they have any suggestions for slowing down it's progression. There are some controversial drops that may be considered but would have to be discussed with a competent pediatric ophthalmologist.

Thanks doc..I really appreciate your suggestions.
You can tell me the name of the drops.Many treatments/alternatives are discussed on this forum which are not FDA approved.
No, not atropine. There is a different drop out there that may slow myopic progression. Since it is not FDA approved for that purpose I don't feel it is appropriate for me to discuss it on this forum. It is a rarely prescribed medication in the US and you need to discuss it with a pediatric ophthalmologist to see if it may be an option. The surgical options seem a bit extreme to me but I don't have any knowledge in that regard.

I believe you are talking about atropine eye drops. Does it suppress such high myopia? I read that there are some possible side effects like hampering accommodation ability of the eye
Are there any alternative surgical treatments? I have read something about posterior pole buckling/Scleral reinforcement on the internet. But i haven't come across a single doctor recommending this treatment.Do you know something about this treatment and its long term efficacy?
