Does moxibustion treat myopia?

Moxibustion alone cannot cure myopia, but it can relieve visual fatigue and help control the rate of myopia development. The current mainstream view is that myopia is a preventable and controllable disease, but it cannot be cured. Once true myopia occurs, it is impossible to return to normal, and there is no effective treatment to reduce myopia or return to normal, but only to improve vision with various optical correction methods, such as wearing frame glasses, corneal contact lenses or through refractive surgery. Generally myopia is caused by eye fatigue due to prolonged close vision, moxibustion has a health effect and can be used to control the rate of myopia development and has a certain effect on myopia prevention and control. Some methods commonly used in clinical practice, such as massage and moxibustion, only play a role in improving the fatigue of the eyes, helping to alleviate the growth rate of myopia, but no other role. It is important to pay close attention to adolescent myopia, especially in patients whose parents have high myopia, which may have a hereditary factor. For the prevention of myopia, the key needs to reduce the amount of time spent in close proximity to the eyes, such as reducing the time spent using cell phones and computers. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the scientific use of eyes and actively participate in outdoor sports. Once true myopia appears, you need to go to the hospital for an optometry to clarify the degree of myopia and then wear glasses.
