Is it good to apply heat to the eyes every day for myopia?
Applying heat to the eyes every day cannot control myopia, but it can slightly relieve eye fatigue, dryness, and other discomforts. Myopia occurs when parallel rays of light enter the eye and focus in front of the retina through the eye's refractive system, failing to form a clear image on the retina.
If myopia is pseudomyopia, it might recover through rest, relaxation, and pupil dilation. However, if it progresses to true myopia, it becomes irreversible and incurable; vision can only be corrected and its progression controlled. Before the age of 18, myopia can be corrected with glasses or orthokeratology lenses. After turning 18, corrective surgery for myopia might be an option. It is advised that adolescents and children actively control the progression of myopia.
