A review of myopia treatment methods and their research progress

Abstract

Myopia is a refractive error in which light is focused in front of the retina. In recent years, with the change of people's lifestyle and the widespread use of electronic products, the number of people suffering from myopia is on the rise year by year. Therefore, how to effectively prevent and treat myopia has attracted a lot of attention. At present, the common treatments for myopia mainly include five major categories, such as drug therapy, optical correction, surgery, Chinese medicine treatment and environmental behavior therapy. In this paper, we summarize the latest research advances in myopia through the above five levels in order to provide a reference basis for the development of a more comprehensive and personalized myopia treatment plan in the future.
