Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine on the prevention and treatment of juvenile mild myopia. Methods: One hundred and twenty cases of juvenile mild myopia were randomly divided into six groups, with 20 cases in each group: western medicine group, ultrasonic group, acupuncture group, auricular point group, traditional Chinese oral decoction group, and traditional Chinese medicine comprehensive therapy group. The therapeutic effects of the treatment administered to the six groups were compared. Result: In the post-treatment and follow-up stages, the visual acuity of the traditional Chinese medicine comprehensive therapy group significantly improved along with reduced diopter compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). However, the axial length of the six groups had no significant change compared with that before treatment (p > 0.05). There were no adverse reactions in any of the patients. Conclusion: In the treatment of juvenile mild myopia, traditional Chinese medicine comprehensive therapy has good therapeutic effect without any adverse reactions; thus, it is worthy of clinical promotion.
