Abstract

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate treatment of childhood myopia in current Traditional Chinese Medical Journals. Material and Method : We searched for treatment of childhood myopia in all Traditional Chinese Medical Journals published from January 2001 to October 2005. Results : Thirteen articles were selected and 7 of them showed total improvement rate was higher than 90% in childhood myopia. Treatment methods were acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, adhesive plaster. Conclusion : Oriental medical treatments for childhood myopia were presumed to be effective in most trials. But there remains a debate about diagnosis and outcome criteria. Further studies are needed.
