“The child’s myopia is just a sticker”, “With this myopia correction device, the child’s vision has improved”, “Quickly remove the glasses without surgery”, I have to say that these advertisements for the treatment of myopia are very anxious for parents. It’s tempting. The problem is that the current mainstream view in the medical community is still: myopia can be prevented and controlled but not cured. Myopia surgery can improve vision, but many eye specialists still don’t think it’s a cure. In other words, myopia is irreversible.
Although this view is a professional judgment of the medical profession, it is difficult for people who are eager to treat myopia to accept. Many parents embarked on the road of treatment with the attitude of giving it a try, “What if it really works?” To eradicate the chaos in the children’s myopia treatment market, parents must first get rid of flukes and treat myopia with a scientific attitude. In addition, these advertisements that clearly claim to treat myopia are suspected of false propaganda? Does the manufacturer of myopia treatment products have the relevant drug or medical device production qualifications? Should institutions that implement myopia treatment also be included in the supervision of medical institutions? Industry and commerce, drug administration and other departments should see the increasingly prominent market chaos, seriously investigate and deal with violations of laws and regulations by enterprises, and reduce the opportunities for consumers to be “pitted”.
