简要总结
Myopia is widely one of the three commonly detected refractive errors. Myopia is usually managed by correction through glasses or contact lenses. Other alternative available include surgery, drugs and acupuncture. There are various therapeutic approaches and different points can be used in acupuncture treatment for myopia, such as auricular acupuncture, acupressure body acupuncture. However, the mechanism of acupuncture therapy for myopia is largely unknown. Furthermore, little information exists regarding the effects and safety of acupuncture for degenerative myopia in children.

The hypotheses of this study are as follows:
