Hello
It seems you want to know whether excessive crying will cause any eye problems.
Crying will not lead to any eye problem but it can lead to redness of eyes, otherwise it won't cause any significant problems.
Myopia is a refractive error and crying has no effect on onset or progression of myopia.
Hence I advice you to use glasses after refraction and correction for myopia.

Thank you
