Features: Based on the fundamental theories of ophthalmic optometry, this book provides a comprehensive and systematic summary of the prevention and treatment of myopia in adolescents. It elaborates in detail on the causes of myopia, treatment strategies, and outcome evaluation, and reviews various methods for myopia prevention and treatment. Special emphasis is placed on recommending several "eye-friendly and effective" methods such as binocular fusion therapy and low-degree convex lens methods, based on the theory of visual triad movement. Furthermore, the book proposes that binocular fusion therapy not only treats pseudomyopia and prevents true myopia but can also be developed into an instrument to measure the interocular distance for distant and near vision. This allows for convenient measurement of interocular distance and suggests replacing the currently used pupillary distance with interocular distance when prescribing glasses. The author has long been dedicated to myopia prevention and treatment and served as the head of the National Advisory Group on Myopia Prevention for Students under the Ministry of Education. This book is both a summary of the author's personal experience and a systematic overview of China's recent efforts in myopia prevention.
