Abstract EN
Myopia is a condition of the eye where parallel rays focus in front of, instead of on, the retina, which results in excessive refractive power of the cornea or the lens or eyeball elongation.
Studies carried out in recent years show that the etiology of myopia is complex with genetic and environmental factors playing a role.
Refraction defects decrease the quality of vision, while progressing myopia can lead to partial loss of vision, which can be particularly dramatic in young adults.
Therefore, it is so crucial to take appropriate actions aimed at preventing myopia progression.
This is a review of nonpharmacological therapeutic possibilities of refraction defect prevention in young adults, with special regard to myofascial therapy, osteopathy, and massage of acupuncture points surrounding the eye.
