Mild myopia in children can gradually improve through lifestyle modifications, such as minimizing exposure to electronic devices, limiting near-work duration, engaging in at least two hours of outdoor physical activity daily, adopting proper reading and writing postures, and maintaining a balanced diet. True (axial) myopia involves slight elongation of the eyeball and requires formal refraction testing, followed by appropriate corrective eyewear. Additionally, certain preventive measures can be implemented to help control the progression of myopia.
