Myopia in children can be corrected through cycloplegic refraction. Appropriate eyeglasses are required for correction to enable the eyes to see more clearly. Corrective eyeglasses are the most effective method for improving vision in myopia, although their effect develops gradually. In daily life, increasing outdoor physical activity, taking regular breaks, maintaining a balanced diet, and avoiding excessive near work can help prevent the onset of myopia.
