AB - ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture in the treatment of accommodative myopia in children.MethodsA total of 76 children with accommodative myopia who met the inclusion criteria were divided into a control group or a test group according to the random number table method, with 38 cases in each group. The control group was given education on eye hygiene, and the test group was treated with acupuncture twice a week for 2 months in addition to the intervention used in the control group. The patient’s uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refraction, and axial length (AL) were measured before treatment and 1 month and 2 months after treatment.ResultsAfter 1 month of treatment, there was no significant difference in the UCVA between the two groups (P>0.05); after 2 months of treatment, the UCVA of the test group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). After 1 and 2 months of treatment, the refraction of the two groups was significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After 1 and 2 months of treatment, the AL in the control group was increased compared with that before treatment (P<0.05), while there was no significant change in the test group (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture treatment can improve UCVA in children with accommodative myopia.
