Can Chinese medicine treat myopia?

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is generally not able to cure true myopia, and it can usually be used to relieve eye fatigue, and for patients with myopia, western surgery is recommended. Acupuncture, massage or herbal medicine through TCM may relieve eye fatigue to a certain extent, but it is ineffective in improving true myopia because it cannot improve the morphology of the eye membrane as well as the refractive state. If patients want to treat myopia, it is recommended to choose Western myopia surgery, which improves the state of myopia by improving the refractive error of the eye membrane. Therefore, it is not scientific to treat myopia through Chinese medicine, but it can improve eye fatigue, dryness and other uncomfortable symptoms. For patients who want to treat myopia, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time and under the guidance of professional doctors for standardized treatment.
