Patient's question:
My little niece is now a third-grade elementary school student. At such a young age, she has already developed myopia. Some people say that myopia can be inherited, but no one in our family has myopia. However, my niece doesn't want to wear glasses because she says they are very inconvenient. I want to ask if traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat myopia?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine cannot treat myopia. If you are young or have pseudomyopia, you can rely on self-treatment and dietary therapy. You should wear glasses regularly, otherwise your prescription will worsen.Observe a lawn or green trees from 10 meters away: Due to the shorter wavelength of green light, it forms an image in front of the retina, promoting eye relaxation, relaxing the ciliary muscles, and reducing eye fatigue. Do not squint, do not blink, eliminate distractions, focus, and concentrate on identifying the outlines of grass or leaves for 25 seconds. Repeat 20 times, with each session lasting 10 minutes, three times a day. Those with severe vision impairment should increase the number of training sessions.
