In general, myopia may be caused by deterioration of the function of the eyeball due to prolonged learning, reading, and watching TV.

This myopia refers to the object's focus on the front of the retina, not through the lens inside the eye. The lens is thicker when you see near the eye and thinner when you look far away. There is a ciliary muscle (inner muscle) around the lens that is thinner by pulling the ciliary muscles out of the contraction, so you can see far away. On the contrary, when the ciliary muscle is delayed, the lens becomes thicker so that you can see the nearby places well. The iris (inner muscle) controls the amount of light to make the pupil smaller when there is a lot of light, and to make the pupil larger when there is little light.

In addition, the extraocular muscles (four rectus, upper rectus, inferior rectus, lateral rectus, inner rectus, two quadriceps, upper extremity, and inferior oblique) that are located outside the eyeball also help the eye's control, As the contraction of the eyeball becomes shorter and the diameter of the eyeball becomes longer, it helps the shape muscle, which is the inner eye, to be easily pulled out.When looking near, two quadriceps contract and the eyeball becomes longer and at the same time the diameter of the eyeball This shortening helps the muscles to slow down.

With this characteristic, myopia is weakened in the inner and outer muscles (four rectus muscles and two quadriceps muscles) compared to normal, so that regular eye movements are effective in preventing myopia and recovering myopia. It is a well known fact. In addition, myopia recovery is known to be effective in the prevention of visual acuity when acupressure, that is, acupressure around the eyes by acupressure stimulation therapy.
