Ultra-high myopia can also be treated with surgery, but the exact treatment depends on the patient’s condition.
Myopia is a type of refractive error that can lead to vision loss. The higher the degree of myopia, the more pronounced the loss of vision, and myopia over 1,000 degrees is usually categorized as hypermetropia. Patients with hyperopic myopia can be treated with surgical procedures, such as posterior scleral reinforcement, which strengthens the patient’s sclera and prevents further lengthening of the eye’s axis, thus controlling the further growth of myopia.
Patients with high myopia can also be treated with posterior chamber IOL implantation in crystalline eyes to improve their vision.
It is recommended that patients with high myopia should visit the hospital in a timely manner to have their condition evaluated and treated according to the doctor’s instructions.
