Features: Currently, the incidence of myopia among Chinese students is close to 60%, ranking second in the world, with the number of affected individuals being the highest globally. The myopia rate among primary school students reaches 13.35%, among junior high school students, it is 37.44%, and among high school students, it has reached 61.51%. The total number of patients exceeds 60 million, and the number of people who become blind due to myopia reaches 300,000. Falsely myopic is the initial stage of myopia and a reversible stage. With timely treatment, vision can be restored. However, if overuse of the eyes occurs again after recovery, vision will decline again, leading to a vicious cycle that can make myopia irreversible. Typically, falsely myopic can develop into true myopia within 3-6 months, with the eye axis elongating, making recovery impossible afterward! Therefore, students and families must attach great importance to this and should not believe that temporary vision improvement means a permanent solution. The focus of treating falsely myopic should be on preventing the occurrence and progression of myopia. This small book introduces the evolution and development of the eye, its structure and function in relation to the living environment, the formation and progression of falsely myopic, common treatment methods, family self-care and preventive health measures, and ophthalmology consultation essentials as well as the diagnostic procedures for falsely myopic. It helps parents and students recognize the harm and serious consequences of poor eye use, actively and effectively protect their vision, and prevent myopia.
