does myopia improve over time

I cant really accept the fact but im probably nearsighted.

What gives me faith at the moment Is the Possibility that it would improver over  Time, but doea myopia Really improve over time?

Im 16. And i think what causes my myopia is too much of close work like exccessive computer use. Inn case myopia would improve, would halo effects decrease or elliminate?

Your opinions are highly appreciated.
Im seriously hopeless.

You can still become an aviator, even a fighter jet pilot.  I have maybe 20 patients that have had lasik surgery to correct their vision without glasses and fly everything from 747, F-16 to helicopters.

Being nearsighted isn't a big deal man. Wear a pair of glasses or contact lenses and you're fixed.

If you have floaters or halos you might have other issues, but just being myopic isn't a big deal at all.

Get over being myopic, happens to millions. I've been myopic for most of my life.

True myopia does not go away and usually increases in the young person.
