How to treat vision problems
Disease description:
I am 26 years old this year. Recently, I noticed that my vision has become slightly blurry. I went to the hospital for a refraction test, and the doctor told me I have mild myopia. May I ask, how can myopia be treated?

Vision problems are typically caused by multiple factors, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and others. The method of treating vision issues depends on the specific ophthalmic condition. Common treatment options include:
1. **Eyeglasses or contact lenses**: Patients with myopia or hyperopia often improve their vision by wearing glasses. The prescription strength of the lenses is adjusted based on examination results to ensure optimal visual acuity.
2. **Laser surgery**: Procedures such as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) reshape the cornea to enhance its ability to focus light, thereby improving vision. However, these procedures are not suitable for everyone and require evaluation by a physician to determine eligibility.
3. **Vision therapy**: For certain specific visual problems, such as amblyopia or binocular coordination disorders, vision training and exercises can help improve visual function.
4. **Medication**: In specific cases, such as glaucoma, medications may be required to control intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss.
Note: If you experience vision problems, consult a doctor. Seek medical attention promptly upon noticing any changes in your vision.
