In adult patients with high myopia, myopia may keep growing if they do not pay attention to their eye use.
High myopia refers to myopia of more than 600 diopters. Even after adulthood, myopia may not stabilize completely, and may increase year by year if the patient continues to use his/her eyes with fatigue.
If the patient’s myopia continues to grow, it is usually accompanied by a gradual lengthening of the eye axis, which can lead to a series of complications related to high myopia, such as macular schisis, retinal degeneration, and retinal tears.
If myopia continues to increase after adulthood, and complications related to high myopia occur, patients can consider posterior scleral reinforcement surgery to control myopia growth and improve vision.
It is recommended that patients with high myopia should consult a doctor in time to evaluate their condition and formulate a reasonable treatment plan under the doctor’s guidance.
