Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Chen You
After developing myopia, individuals often experience eye fatigue easily. Failure to promptly wear appropriately prescribed corrective eyeglasses may lead to progression of myopia. True (axial) myopia is irreversible and cannot be cured; therefore, wearing corrective glasses is essential. Myopia is commonly associated with eye fatigue and dry eye syndrome, so prolonged use of smartphones, computers, and televisions should be avoided. Individuals with myopia can wear eyeglasses with frames or suitable contact lenses.
