Summary:To observe the therapeutic effect of treating pseudomyopia in children by auricular point sticking plus plucking manipulation. Two groups of auricular points were selected. There were Eye 1 (MA-L), Eye 2(MA-L), Liver (MA-SC 5) and Er Shenmen (MA-TF1) in the first group and Central rim (MA-AT), Eye (MA-L1), Superior Triangular Fossa (MA-TF) and Cervical Vertebrae (MA-AH 8) in second group. Seeds ofVaccaria sagetalis were used to stick and press tightly on those points. Then the cervical vertebrae were plucked and moved fore-and-aft circlewise.
