What methods can correct myopia?

The symptom of myopia is decreased vision. High myopia often causes serious complications such as vitreous opacity, fundus hemorrhage, retinal hole, retinal detachment and even blindness.

Wearing glasses is a traditional method to correct myopia, but it has many disadvantages, which brings a lot of inconvenience to work, study and life. Wearing contact lenses for a long time will cause certain damage to the cornea, which is potentially dangerous. Therefore, thousands of myopia patients are eager to take off annoying glasses.

Western medicine treatment

Traditional myopia glasses can only play the role of optical correction, but have no treatment and prevention functions, which obviously has deeper and deeper defects, which also brings a lot of inconvenience to study, work and life. Long-term wearing contact lenses (also known as contact lenses) has certain damage to the cornea and is potentially dangerous. With the rapid development of science and technology, there are more and more methods to treat myopia, including the following.

(1) laser correction surgery: first cut the corneal flap, then cut the corneal stroma with excimer laser, polish the corneal curvature, improve the ametropia, and finally reset the corneal flap.

(2) Orthokeratology: Wear rigid breathable contact lenses with flat center and steep periphery on the cornea, which will produce slight compression, slowly change the shape of the cornea, and flatten the central optical zone of the cornea, thus reducing myopia.

(3) Progressive glasses use the near, middle and far myopia degrees contained in the glasses to reduce the pressure when the eyes adjust the focus, so as to slow down the growth of eyeballs and achieve the effect of controlling myopia.

(4) Wear a convex lens of 100 ~ 150 when reading in fog method, so as to reduce the excessive adjustment of eyes when looking at near objects and achieve the effect of treating myopia.

(5) myopia therapeutic apparatus used the distance transformation of images in the instrument to exercise the function of ciliary muscles and enhance the adjustment function of eyes, so as to achieve the purpose of treating myopia.

Chinese traditional treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly focuses on nourishing heart, nourishing liver and kidney, and dredging meridians. Acupuncture can also replenish liver and kidney, benefit qi and improve eyesight, and dredge meridians. If Chinese medicine can cooperate with acupuncture and dietotherapy to treat myopia, the curative effect will be greatly improved.

dietotherapy

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that liver and kidney deficiency and qi and blood deficiency are the main causes of myopia. "Deficiency can make up", so you can eat some foods that can make up liver and kidney and qi and blood to prevent myopia. The principle of "tonifying viscera with viscera" in traditional Chinese medicine has achieved good results in clinic.
