How to treat myopia in teenage children

  Patient: My child is 8 years old, myopia 200-250 degrees, like to squint to see things, six months ago in Ayer, Tongji have been examined, recommended to wear myopia glasses, there is no other way to treat? There is no other way to treat myopia, restore vision, and get rid of glasses.  Doctor: Hello! After being diagnosed with true myopia, you can only “correct” it, and there is no particularly effective “treatment” for the time being.  The first choice for correction is frame glasses, pay attention to correcting poor reading and writing posture, reduce the time spent watching TV and using computers, do more eye exercises and increase eye movement, and ensure sufficient sleep; and under the guidance of a doctor, use pupil-dilating drops, regularly review vision and optometry may slow down the development of myopia. In addition, about 300 degrees of myopia, the annual progress of more than 100 degrees can be considered by wearing “corneal shaping lenses” to delay the development of myopia to the maximum, while you can temporarily “throw away glasses” during the day.  In addition, there are many “massage”, acupuncture and vision training methods on the market, including many media, to “treat myopia”, I do not have in-depth knowledge, I can not say that invalid. But professional ophthalmologists will not recommend these methods, I personally think these advertising campaigns are not credible.
