Can myopia heal itself through exercise?

The feeling of myopia is very bad, presumably every myopic friend has such troubles:

Say it, it’s all tears!

Since myopia is so troublesome, many people are thinking about what to cure myopia.

Myopia correction surgery? Sounds a little scary, this is to move a knife in the eye!

Why don’t you try those exercise healing therapies advertised? What flashed in an instant, meditating and massaging acupuncture points…….

It is said that as long as you relax and exercise through eye massage, you can make myopia heal yourself?

Unfortunately, the ideal is plump and the reality is bony.

Ding Dong tells you, expect to use massage exercise method to cure myopia, that is:

No

Rely on

Let Ding Dang hold down his eyes and tell you why.

Is what myopic?

The eye is a biological organ as well as an optical organ, which is responsible for focusing external visual information on the retina for us to perceive.

When the eye is normal, parallel light enters the eye, refracts through cornea, lens, etc., and eventually focuses on the retina to form a clear image.

However, if parallel light enters the eye, it does not focus on the retina, but on the front of the retina, resulting in no clear image on the retina.

This is myopia.

Why can people be myopic?

As for the cause of myopia, there is still controversy in the academic circle. Is it genetic inheritance? Or environmental factors? Let the scientists argue for a while.

However, people still understand why the light does not focus on the retina but on the front of the retina after entering the eyes of myopic patients.

This is caused by two reasons:

  1. The ocular axis of myopic patients is too long;

  2. The corneal and lens states of myopic patients have changed.

The ocular axis is the central axis distance between the surface layer (cornea) of the eyeball receiving light and the innermost layer (retina).

For normal people, the distance between the eye axes is fixed, and the focus position of light after entering the eye is also fixed, which coincides with each other.

For myopic patients, the retina recedes due to the lengthening of the ocular axis, which cannot coincide with the focus of light.

In addition to the long ocular axis, changes in corneal and lens states can also lead to myopia.

Some people have normal axial length, but the state of the cornea and lens responsible for refraction has changed, focusing the image that should have been focused on the retina on the front of the retina.

As shown in the following figure:

Eye Exercise Can’t Heal Myopia

Long ocular axis and changes in corneal and lens states are the main culprits for myopia.

However, no matter what’s eye exercise, eye massage or overlooking in an instant, it did not shorten the long ocular axis and restore the cornea and lens with wrong refraction to normal.

Because the current research results show that:

Excessive axial length is an irreversible process. As long as it becomes longer, it will not automatically change back.

Similarly, the state of cornea and lens is the same. As long as there is a change, it will not change back automatically unless it is wearing orthokeratology lens or some physiological aging.

Beware of [myopia healing] scam

Although in medicine, it is still impossible to self-heal myopia through eye exercise at this stage.

However, it does not affect some unscrupulous merchants to swindle under the banner of curing myopia.

In fact, what they use is nothing more than taking pseudomyopia seriously or deliberately confusing some concepts of vision test.

Therefore, Ding Dang advised all myopic friends that if they want to treat myopia, they must go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for treatment.
