The "magic weapon" and "magic medicine" for myopia should stop

2021-12-21

Recently, the State Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice saying that it would severely crack down on the false and illegal marketing propaganda of children and adolescents' myopia prevention and control products, and stressed that "under the current medical technology conditions, myopia cannot be cured". Relevant experts said that the prevention and control of children's myopia has been a hot topic in recent years. The "strike action" of government departments at this time is very timely, effectively avoiding the aggravation of myopia due to the delay of wrong treatment. (China Women's daily, December 20) In recent years, there have been many good methods in the field of myopia intervention, but at the same time, various "artifact" and "divine medicine" are also emerging in endlessly, which makes people dizzy. For example, misleading marketing propaganda such as "rehabilitation", "recovery", "degree reduction", "myopia cure", "myopia Nemesis" and "degree repair" are common; Eye protector, eye patch, atomization therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy are also very common; Illegal selling of health care products in optical shops also occurs from time to time. However, the so-called "artifact" and "magic medicine" are just boasting. "3D training", "5D hot compress", "6D mobile optics" and other "advanced technologies" for the treatment of myopia are just cheating under the banner of high technology. "Myopia cannot be cured" is the consensus of the current medical community. Therefore, the exaggerated publicity of "curable" is worthy of vigilance. In addition, deception routines such as treating pseudomyopia as true myopia and treating the intervention effect of pseudomyopia as the basis of "cure" are also worthy of vigilance. Myopia not only affects study and life, but also has certain restrictions on the choice of majors in universities. Parents are increasingly anxious about their children's myopia. Many parents are willing to spend a lot of money for it. However, the "artifact" and "magic medicine" for the treatment of myopia flooded the market, making parents feel at a loss. Under the influence of anxiety, parents are easy to make wrong choices. As a result, they not only spent a lot of money, but also missed the good opportunity of myopia intervention. Instead, they did not achieve their advertised effect, but heard of cases in which students' eyesight decreased greatly. Myopia intervention involves many fields such as education and medical treatment, and unilateral measures are difficult to solve the problem. At present, the work of "reducing the burden" for primary and secondary school students is being implemented, which creates a good environment for students' healthy eye use. If other intervention measures can be followed up simultaneously, the effects will be superimposed. From a medical perspective, Internet diagnosis and treatment has been standardized, and the efforts to crack down on "miracle doctors" and "miracle drugs" have been continuously strengthened. Some practices of myopia diagnosis and treatment fraud in the name of diagnosis and treatment will be subject to more severe supervision and crackdown, which also creates favorable conditions for the governance of this kind of chaos. It can be considered that although such chaos has existed for a long time, it is currently in a critical period of governance. Through the reform of the education system and strengthening eye hygiene, it is the best policy to let students not be short-sighted and less short-sighted. It is also a better remedy to enable students who have been short-sighted to receive standardized diagnosis and treatment, so as to improve their eyesight and prevent the deepening of myopia. But after myopia, not only can not get standardized diagnosis and treatment, but will be misled, which is a blunder and a phenomenon that should be treated first. Therefore, the minimum measure of myopia intervention is to avoid the students who have myopia from being hurt by "artifact" and "magic medicine". On this basis, other intervention measures can play a good role. (outlook new era)
