Background: In recent years, the prevalence of light myopia has become higher and higher. The symptoms of this disease include far distance visual disorder, getting blurred or sometimes double vision, eyes fatigue, etc. It can seriously affect the quality of life of patients.
Therefore, more and more attention has been paid to light myopia. Objective:To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture for light myopia. Methods:115 patients with light myopia were randomly allocated into a study group with 60 cases (120 eyes) or a control group with 55 cases(110 eyes). The study group was treated with acupuncture, while the control group was treated with manual technique therapy. Acupuncture is applied once a day, one therapeutic course is 15-20 times, and another course is repeated after 2 months of rest. The clinical efficacy was observed after two course of treatment. Results:Treatment of a light myopia with acupuncture led to 90.8% of eyesight improvement in the study group, being significant as compared with the control group (61.8%; p<0.01). Conclusions: Acupuncture is effective for light myopia. The curative effect of light myopia is better than that of manual technique therapy.
