High Myopia

眼科

Common symptoms

视力常呈雾状模糊感、视力障碍、眼前黑影、眼球突出

The pathology of disease

High myopia (typically > -6.00 D or axial length > 26 mm) is degenerative myopia with an elongated eye causing myopic conus, tessellated fundus, macular hemorrhage/Fuchs spot, choroidal neovascularization, lattice degeneration, and increased risk of retinal detachment. Treatment: correct refractive error; regular dilated retinal screening; treat retinal tears by laser; anti-VEGF for myopic CNV; patient education on symptoms of retinal detachment.

Common Symptoms

Severe distance blur; myopic conus/tessellated fundus; risk of macular hemorrhage/retinal detachment

Causes and Pathogenesis

Marked axial elongation causes degenerative changes of the fundus and retinal-vitreous risk.

Treatment

Correct refraction; regular retinal screening; laser for tears; anti-VEGF for myopic CNV

Preventive Measures

Myopia control in children; regular retinal exams; prompt treatment of flashes/floaters.
