What are the methods for treating myopia?

According to the classification of myopia, the treatment methods are also different. Pseudomyopia can be treated by mydriasis or wearing hyperopia glasses; True myopia mainly depends on wearing glasses or myopia surgery.

Treatment of pseudomyopia

Pseudomyopia refers to the initial stage before it develops into myopia. The whole eyeball structure of pseudomyopia patients has not changed significantly, and the axial length has not been lengthened. Therefore, atropine mydriasis or hyperopia glasses for relieving ciliary muscle spasm can be used. After a period of conditioning, vision can be improved to varying degrees, and even returned to normal.

Treatment of true myopia

True myopia refers to a pathological change that the anterior and posterior diameter of eyeball is too long, the ciliary muscle is congested and swollen, the lens becomes convex, and the axial length is prolonged due to the continuous spasm of ciliary muscle. The treatment mainly depends on wearing glasses, and there is no other way to shorten the axial length except surgery, which has been recognized as the "truth" in the medical field.
