Abstract:

The traditional methods for the control of myopia development are optical correction, orthokeratology lens, defocus glasses and other methods, however, these approaches are poor. At present, it has been demonstrated that outdoor activities and the application of low concentration atropine had a positive effect on preventing the occurrence of myopia and controlling the growth of myopia diopter. The occurrence and development of axial myopia was related to scleral remodeling toward myopic direction, but the mechanism remains unclear. In addition, true myopia caused by the axial growth was irreversible. After long-term spaceflight, astronauts had posterior eyeball flattening, axial shortening, and hyperopic displacement of refractive state, indicating that stress environment could cause sclera remodeling. Therefore, the combination of appropriate exercise to promote the transfer of blood head and increase the hydrostatic pressure gradient of the head and eye tissue might affect the local scleral remodeling and shorten the axial direction of the eye, or delay the trend of axial growth, which could provide a new idea for the prevention and control of myopia.

Key words: Prevention and control of myopia, Scleral remodeling, Ocular axial length, Position change
