It is generally possible to skydive with moderate to low myopia. High myopia is not recommended for skydiving.
Medium and low myopia patients, generally will not appear fundus lesions, even if the skydiving and other extreme sports, the eyes generally will not have an impact on the eyes, can be carried out.
Patients with high myopia have a longer eye axis length, and the retina in the periphery will be thinned accordingly, which may induce retinal degeneration, retinal tears and other lesions. Extreme sports such as skydiving may lead to more serious complications such as retinal detachment, resulting in vision loss or even blindness.
It is recommended that myopic patients have their fundus examined on a regular basis, and if lesions are found, they should be treated in a timely manner.
