Hello, myopia correction methods are primarily divided into surgical and non-surgical approaches. Most treatments for myopia are tailored to its underlying causes. Glasses or contact lens correction: This approach helps slow the progression of vision deterioration. Clinical evidence shows that, in most patients, uncorrected myopia progresses by approximately 100 degrees per year. Surgical correction: In recent years, excimer laser surgery has gained widespread acceptance among myopia patients and yields favorable outcomes. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
