 providing, by an electronic device to the subject, two or more first modules selected from the group consisting of an eye exercise module, a relaxation module, and a light therapy module, each of the modules comprising one or more instructions for the subject to follow,   wherein the electronic device (i) comprises a sensor sensing adherence by the subject to the instructions of the two or more first modules, (ii) transmits adherence information, based on the adherence, to a server, and (iii) receives one or more second instructions from the server based on the adherence information; and   providing, by the electronic device to the subject, two or more second modules selected from the group consisting of an eye exercise module, a relaxation module, and a light therapy module, the two or more second modules comprising the one or more second instructions.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the eye exercise module comprises one or more exercise instructions for one or more of: eyeball exercise instructions, biofeedback control instructions, and eyeball-related behavior control instructions. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the relaxation module comprises one or more relaxation instructions for one or more of: physical exercise instructions, ego enhancement instructions, safety feeling instructions, comfort feeling instructions, and fun instructions. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the light therapy module comprises one or more light therapy instructions for controlling a light environment of the subject. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising providing, by the electronic device to the subject, an accomplishment module comprising one or more accomplishment instructions for task accomplishment and for providing compensation for the subject's adherence to the instructions of the two or more first modules. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising providing, by the electronic device to the subject, a fun module comprising one or more fun instructions for task accomplishment and for providing compensation for the subject's adherence to the instructions of the two or more first modules. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the server receives the one or more second instructions from an external reviewer. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 27 , wherein the external reviewer comprises one or more of: a health professional, an artificial intelligence (AI), and an adherence monitor. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the sensor comprises one or more of: a camera, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a light sensor, a microphone, a proximity sensor, a touch sensor, a gyroscope, a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor, an ambient light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a pedometer, a heart rate sensor, and a thermometer. 
     
     
         30 . A computing system for treating myopia in a subject in need thereof, comprising:
 a display configured to provide, to the subject, two or more first modules selected from the group consisting of an eye exercise module, a relaxation module, and a light therapy module, each of the modules comprising one or more instructions for the subject to follow;   a sensor configured to sense adherence by the subject to the instructions of the two or more first modules;   a transmitter configured to transmit adherence information, based on the adherence, to a server; and   a receiver configured to receive, from the server, one or more second instructions based on the adherence information,   wherein the display is further configured to provide, to the subject, two or more second modules selected from the group consisting of an eye exercise module, a relaxation module, and a light therapy module, the two or more second modules comprising the one or more second instructions.   
     
     
         31 . The computing system of  claim 30 , wherein the eye exercise module comprises one or more exercise instructions for one or more of: eyeball exercise instructions, biofeedback control instructions, and eyeball-related behavior control instructions. 
     
     
         32 . The computing system of  claim 30 , wherein the relaxation module comprises one or more relaxation instructions for one or more of: physical exercise instructions, ego enhancement instructions, safety feeling instructions, comfort feeling instructions, and fun instructions. 
     
     
         33 . The computing system of  claim 30 , wherein the light therapy module comprises one or more light therapy instructions for controlling a light environment of the subject. 
     
     
         34 . The computing system of  claim 30 , wherein the display is further configure to provide, to the subject, an accomplishment module comprising one or more accomplishment instructions for task accomplishment and for providing compensation for the subject's adherence to the instructions of the two or more first modules. 
     
     
         35 . The computing system of  claim 30 , wherein the server is configured to receive the one or more second instructions from an external reviewer. 
     
     
         36 . The computing system of  claim 35 , wherein the external reviewer comprises one or more of: a health professional, an artificial intelligence (AI), and an adherence monitor. 
     
     
         37 . The computing system of  claim 30 , wherein the sensor comprises one or more of: a camera, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a light sensor, a microphone, a proximity sensor, a touch sensor, a gyroscope, a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor, an ambient light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a pedometer, a heart rate sensor, and a thermometer.
