The main methods for treating myopia include medications and eyeglasses. Atropine is the most effective treatment for myopia. The higher the concentration of atropine, the more significant its inhibitory effect; lower concentrations are less effective. Individuals with myopia can go to the hospital for cycloplegic refraction and choose appropriate corrective eyeglasses based on their prescription. For those who do not wish to wear glasses, laser surgery is an available treatment option.
