WEI Qiping's Approach to the Treatment of Myopia in Children and Adolescents
Myopia has a high prevalence and is difficult to treat in China.If it progresses to high myopia,it can lead to various complications,including macular hemorrhage,retinal tears,and retinal detachment.WEI Qiping believes that the pathogenesis of this condition involves congenital deficiency,acquired malnutrition,and disturbance of spiritual light.He advocates for a combination of internal and external treatments,emphasizing both supplementation and nourishment,and paying attention to regulation and care.He highlights that"strengthening spleen lies not in supplementation but in transportation"as a key aspect of myopia prevention and treatment,showcasing the importance of"transporting spleen"in his approach.However,he does not focus solely on spleen,but also considers supplementing liver,nourishing heart,and enriching kidney.Individualized external treatments are provided based on the condition,including acupuncture,massage,external application of Chinse medicines,and auricular acupressure.During the treatment process,attention should be paid to improving eye habits and lifestyle care.This article summarizes WEI Qiping's approach to the prevention and treatment of myopia in children and adolescents,leveraging the unique advantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine to prevent the onset of myopia,slow its progression,and contribute to the national strategy for myopia prevention and control.
