Developing 700 degrees of myopia at age 15 is serious.
Myopia is a common ophthalmologic condition, a type of refractive error that causes vision loss, usually in childhood or adolescence.
The severity of myopia is categorized according to the degree of myopia. Generally, myopia above 600 degrees is categorized as high myopia, myopia between 300 and 600 degrees is categorized as moderate myopia, and myopia below 300 degrees is categorized as mild myopia. High myopia increases the risk of fundus complications such as retinal detachment.
Currently, myopia of 700 degrees is already classified as high myopia, which is more serious when it occurs at the age of 15. Patients must pay attention to develop good eye habits, do not use their eyes for long periods of time at close range, and do more outdoor sports to slow down the growth of myopia. For myopia that has already formed, it can be corrected by wearing glasses.
The patient should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in time, and the doctor will guide the patient to correct the plan after understanding the condition in detail.
