Can true myopia be cured?

There is currently no effective treatment for true myopia. Patients can improve their vision by correcting myopia with glasses or surgery. Most cases of true myopia are characterized by an increase in the axial growth of the eye, which cannot be reversed at this time, so true myopia cannot be cured at this time. Myopia can lead to vision loss, and the higher the degree, the more obvious the vision loss, patients can correct myopia through glasses or surgery to improve vision. 1. Eyeglasses: Myopia can be corrected by wearing frames and contact lenses, of which frames are more convenient and common. 2. Refractive surgery: Myopia patients can also correct myopia through refractive surgery, such as excimer laser surgery, femtosecond laser surgery, intraocular lens implantation, etc. Surgery is applicable to adult myopia patients over 18 years old, and the exact surgical method can be selected according to the thickness of cornea, optometry and other examinations. Myopic patients are advised to seek timely medical consultation to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions.
