In foreign countries, there are several ways to treat myopia.
One common approach is the use of corrective lenses. Glasses and contact lenses are widely used to help people with myopia see clearly. They work by refracting light to focus it properly on the retina.
Another option is refractive surgery. Procedures like LASIK (Laser - Assisted in - Situ Keratomileusis) are popular. In LASIK, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, changing its curvature to correct the refractive error that causes myopia.
Orthokeratology is also practiced. Special rigid contact lenses are worn during sleep to reshape the cornea temporarily. This can provide clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or regular contact lenses for some patients. Additionally, some research is focused on developing new drug therapies to slow down the progression of myopia.
