Introduction
In general, whether childhood myopia can be cured mainly depends on the type and degree of myopia. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention, identify the cause, and undergo appropriate treatment under a doctor's guidance. In daily life, parents should supervise children to maintain good eye habits, increase outdoor activity time, and provide nutrient-rich foods to help protect their vision and prevent further progression of myopia.
Generally speaking, whether children's myopia can be cured mainly depends on the type and degree of myopia. It is recommended to seek timely medical advice, identify the cause, and undergo symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed analysis is as follows:
False myopia occurs due to excessive eye use that causes continuous contraction and spasm of the ciliary muscle, increasing the thickness of the lens, which results in blurred vision. By resting and performing eye exercises, the fatigue of the ciliary muscle can be effectively relieved, allowing vision to recover.
Once children develop high myopia, structural changes in the eye have usually become relatively fixed. At this stage, significant improvement in vision through non-surgical methods is difficult. High myopia may also increase the risk of retinal complications, such as retinal detachment and macular degeneration, which require long-term monitoring and management.
In daily life, parents should supervise children to maintain good eye usage habits, increase outdoor activity time, and provide nutritionally rich foods to help protect their vision and prevent further progression of myopia.
