Childhood myopia treated with moxibustion is closely related to the cause of myopia. Vision problems caused by trauma often accompany blurred vision and eye pain. Proper use of recommended anti-inflammatory eye drops by a doctor, such as tobramycin or levofloxacin eye drops, and paying attention to eye hygiene, reducing eye rubbing, may have a positive auxiliary effect. Myopia induced by long-term intensive eye use can be somewhat relieved by increasing rest time and applying heat compresses.
Genetic factors play a crucial role in the formation of myopia. When both parents are myopic, their children have a higher risk of developing myopia. In such cases, correction with eyeglasses can be used, and in severe cases, professional treatments such as femtosecond laser surgery can be considered.
Pathological myopia, related to genetics and poor lifestyle habits, is characterized by abnormal eye shape and deteriorating vision. For such cases, medical technologies such as corneal refractive surgery or implantation of artificial intraocular lenses provide treatment options.
It is worth noting that some situations that appear to be myopia are actually pseudomyopia, which requires accurate diagnosis by a professional doctor and corresponding treatment. Therefore, when faced with myopia issues, the first step is to accurately determine its cause before deciding whether to use moxibustion or other medical interventions.
