Introduction
To get rid of myopic glasses, common methods include laser surgery, implantable intraocular lenses, orthokeratology (corneal reshaping lenses), vision training, and controlling the progression of myopia. Eligible individuals may choose laser surgeries such as SMILE or LASIK, which adjust the corneal shape to correct refractive errors, allowing light to focus accurately on the retina. After surgery, clear vision can be achieved without the need for glasses.

To get rid of myopic glasses, common methods include laser surgery correction, implantable intraocular lenses, orthokeratology lens wear, vision training, and controlling myopia progression. Specific details are as follows:

1. Laser Surgery Correction: Eligible individuals may choose laser surgeries such as SMILE or LASIK, which reshape the cornea to adjust refractive status, allowing light to focus accurately on the retina. After surgery, clear vision can be achieved without wearing glasses.

2. Implantable Intraocular Lens (IOL): For individuals with high myopia or unsuitable corneal conditions, customized intraocular lenses can be implanted to replace the corrective function of glasses. This effectively improves vision and is relatively reversible, achieving the goal of being glasses-free.

3. Orthokeratology Lens Wear: Wearing specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses overnight gently reshapes the cornea temporarily. After removing the lenses in the morning, clear vision can be maintained during the day. It is suitable for individuals with lower myopia and appropriate corneal conditions.

4. Vision Training Improvement: Individuals with mild or pseudo-myopia can enhance eye accommodation and relieve visual fatigue through exercises such as alternating focus between near and distant objects or practicing eye movements. Some people may reduce their dependence on glasses through these methods.

5. Controlling Myopia Progression: Children and adolescents can slow the progression of myopia by increasing outdoor activities and wearing defocus-control glasses, preventing rapid worsening of myopia. When myopia stabilizes at a lower degree in adulthood, it becomes easier to achieve freedom from glasses through other methods.

Prior to choosing any method, a comprehensive eye examination at a reputable hospital is essential. After surgery or while wearing orthokeratology lenses, follow medical advice for proper care to prevent infections. Regular eye check-ups are necessary to monitor ocular health and ensure stable and lasting visual correction.
