Shortsightedness or myopia is a major global public health issue worldwide. Usually there is a relation between reading and writing from a short distance and the development of short sightedness. Computer work is also responsible for this relationship. Acupuncture is commonly used to help improve shortsightedness and hence reduce the occurrence or worsening of the condition.

Here are some of the scientific proofs to support this:

short-sightedness-myopia

Conclusion: Both acupuncture and moxibustion can improve mild and/or moderate myopia of young patients (6–12 years). Acupuncture seems to be more effective than moxibustion in treating myopia.
