Once you put on glasses, you can’t take them off for the rest of your life? Many parents think that once a child puts on the glasses, he/she can’t take them off and will wear them for the rest of his/her life, which is a rather one-sided view. Whether glasses are worn for life or not is determined by their refraction and visual acuity. The main purpose of wearing glasses in adolescence is to correct visual acuity and promote the development of binocular and stereoscopic vision, and when the development is stabilized (after the age of 20), part of nearsightedness and astigmatism can be removed through excimer laser surgery, and part of the mild farsightedness can be removed gradually after the visual acuity reaches the standard. Can myopia be treated? For a long time, ophthalmologists in different countries have carried out a lot of explorations on the treatment of myopia, but there has been a great controversy on the effectiveness and feasibility of some methods. Experts at home and abroad have unanimously recognized that the treatment of myopia is the optical correction – wearing various kinds of refractive glasses, especially for the growing and developing teenagers, it is a good or even the only method to wear refractive glasses. With the development of science and technology, there are some surgical treatments have also made some progress, such as excimer laser corneal resurfacing, surface corneal lens surgery, scleral enhancement, etc., which also provides a certain prospect for the development of myopia treatment. Can massage and acupuncture treat myopia? For many years, many ophthalmologists are very hopeful that there can be some non-surgical treatments for myopia, but from the current development of research, except for refractive glasses, there is no sufficient scientific research results to confirm that massage, acupuncture and some medication has a real feasible effect on myopia, especially no real long-term effect. Can the myopia prevention and treatment products in the society cure myopia? Due to the important position of vision in people’s life and study, people attach great importance to the treatment of myopia. Some people take advantage of people’s “myopia” mentality and create many ways to cure myopia. In the advertisements, they are promoting the miraculous effect, although there are many names, but they can not treat the existing myopia, and some of the products seem to be effective in the short term for pseudo-myopia, but the long-term effect is not ideal, which often affects the correction of visual acuity.
