Mongolian medicine posits that disruptions to the natural balance of the three roots and seven elements within the human body may lead to ocular disorders, vision impairment, and ultimately myopia. China’s children and adolescents not only exhibit high myopia rates but also face increasingly prominent issues of younger onset and severe progression, which critically impact the nation’s future and require urgent attention. Myopia prevention constitutes a systematic project. Traditional Mongolian moxibustion therapy works by applying heat stimulation to specific acupoints to warm meridians, harmonize Qi-blood circulation, regulate elemental balance, thereby enhancing immunity for disease prevention. This holistic approach features non-invasive application with minimal side effects. However, current interventions in myopia management through this method still face challenges including inconsistent operational protocols and insufficiently systematic collaborative research. This paper reviews recent advancements in early intervention using Mongolian moxibustion therapy for myopia, providing insights to optimize myopia prevention strategies.
