This review compares myopia treatments, including surgical options like radial keratotomy and non-surgical methods such as orthokeratology and vision training. It details various approaches for myopia prevention and management.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry

Background:

  • Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a prevalent vision condition requiring effective management strategies.
  • Current understanding necessitates a comprehensive review of existing and emerging treatment modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and compare diverse methods for treating and preventing myopia.
  • To provide an overview of surgical, optical, pharmacological, and behavioral interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of established and novel myopia control techniques.
  • Categorization of treatments into surgical, visual training, pharmacological, and optical interventions.

Main Results:

  • Surgical options include radial keratotomy, keratomileusis, and scleral reinforcement.

  • Non-surgical methods encompass orthokeratology, contact lenses, spectacles, and visual training (biofeedback, behavior modification).
  • Pharmacological agents and ultrasound therapies are also discussed.

    • Conclusions:

    • A wide array of treatment options exist for myopia, catering to different patient needs and severities.
    • The choice of treatment depends on factors such as patient age, refractive error, and lifestyle.
    • Further research may elucidate optimal strategies for myopia prevention and management.
