Whether highly myopic patients can play basketball needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis.
High myopia is a common disease in ophthalmology, which refers to myopia of more than 600 degrees. Patients with high myopia have a higher risk of fundus lesions than normal people, which can easily lead to retinal lesions such as dry fissures and degeneration zones.
Patients with high myopia should visit the hospital regularly to rule out the occurrence of fundopathy, in which case they can play basketball. However, if fundus lesions are already present, strenuous exercise such as basketball may aggravate the existing condition. In this case, it is recommended that the patient play some soothing sports.
It is recommended that patients with high myopia go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for regular checkups, so that the doctor can assess their condition and guide them in their treatment and life advice.
