What can I do to recover from mild myopia?

Generally, mild myopia can be treated through methods such as improving eye usage habits, eye massage, vision therapy, wearing orthokeratology lenses, and dietary therapy. The specific details are as follows:

1. Improve Eye Usage Habits: Many cases of myopia are caused by prolonged near-eye work, which leads to continuous tension and spasm of the ciliary muscles, resulting in a more convex lens shape and thus causing myopia. Improving eye usage habits allows the ciliary muscles to rest and relax sufficiently, helping to slow the progression of myopia and potentially improve vision to some extent.

2. Eye Massage: Massaging acupoints around the eyes can promote blood circulation, relieve eye muscle tension, and improve the eye's accommodation function. Many meridians and acupoints related to vision are distributed around the eyes, and stimulating these points through massage can regulate the flow of blood and energy in the eyes.

3. Vision Training: Vision training can enhance the eyes' accommodative ability, convergence ability, and eye movement capability, strengthen the strength and coordination of eye muscles, and thus improve vision. Specific training methods, such as accommodation training, can make the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscles more flexible.

4. Wearing Orthokeratology Lenses: Orthokeratology lenses are specially designed rigid contact lenses. By wearing them at night, they exert mild pressure on the cornea, reshaping it to flatten the central cornea and alter its refractive status. This temporarily reduces myopia, allowing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses.

5. Dietary Therapy: Certain foods contain nutrients beneficial to eye health, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and lutein. These nutrients help maintain normal eye physiological functions and can serve as auxiliary measures in the prevention and improvement of myopia. Vitamin A is a crucial component of retinal photoreceptor substances, vitamin C acts as an antioxidant protecting the eyes from free radical damage, and lutein, primarily concentrated in the macular region of the retina, helps absorb blue light and protect the retina.

Maintaining good eye usage habits and ocular hygiene is very important in preventing the development and worsening of myopia.
