Patient's question:
7-year-old child with myopia of 270 degrees and astigmatism of 25, axial myopia. Can ÷ tapping plum blossom needles be effective? External use of Yishiqing eye patches and internal use of Yishiqing granules?Doctor's answer:
You are currently using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy. Acupuncture with plum blossom needles indeed has a significant effect, but the local acupoint stimulation causes relatively noticeable pain, which requires a certain period of endurance. Eye patches and oral medications are also part of a holistic treatment to rebalance the body. Acupuncture can be endured for a period of time. Although it cannot completely treat axial myopia, it has a significant effect in slowing down the progression of myopia. It can also be used for adults.
