A 12-year-old patient with an eye axis of 25.56 millimeters exceeds the normal eye axis range, and the child is at a higher risk than his normal peers of developing dry schisis or areas of degeneration in the peripheral parts of the retina.
Normally, the eye axis length of a 12-year-old child is around 22 millimeters. The current eye axis length of 25.56 millimeters is significantly higher than normal, and the child may have conditions such as high myopia. The lengthening of the eye axis can lead to stretching of the retina attached to the wall of the eye, which can lead to the formation of degenerative areas, dry fissures and other lesions in the peripheral part of the retina.
After the appearance of degeneration zone and dry fissure, patients are prone to complications such as retinal detachment, which will damage their vision. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and undergo regular fundus examination, and if necessary, fundus laser treatment to close the dry fissure and degeneration zone.
It is recommended that children with abnormal eye axes should seek timely medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
