Can he possibly go blind?

Can he possibly go blind?

my son is almost three. he has very high myopia in one eye. he has prescription glasses for -11.5. will the glasses slow down the progression of his myopia. i am aware that myopia can progress until a person is about 21. i am very scared that as he ages his myopia will become even worse since he is barely 3. besides the glasses are there any other treatment or surgical options? he has autism by the way and keeping the glasses on him will be a huge task. i am very scared that he will go blind at a young age. what are his chances?
