Approaching myopia holistically: a case study and theoretical exploration.

INTRODUCTION: Myopia is a commonly occurring condition that, in Western countries, affects 30%-35% of the population. At present the most common way of treating myopia is by optical intervention by means of spectacles, contact lenses, or surgery. BACKGROUND: An exploration of the history of and scientific rationale for the current methods of treatment are presented. The concept of myopia as a holistic phenomenon and the idea of the possibility of healing are introduced. CASE STUDY: A case study of a patient reducing spectacle strength and using holistic healing techniques to induce changes in myopia is presented together with a statement from the patient. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that the contemporary model of vision that justifies the prescription of negative lenses in cases of myopia needs re-examining in light of the case study presented.
