When the length of the eye axis exceeds 30mm, the patient is more likely to have high myopia. The patient needs to check the fundus of the eye regularly, and if the eye axis still continues to grow, posterior scleral reinforcement surgery is feasible to control the growth of the eye axis.
The normal length of the eye axis in adults is about 24mm, when the length of the eye axis is 30mm, the patient is more likely to suffer from high myopia. Patients may develop high myopia fundus lesions, such as retinal degeneration, retinal tear, retinal detachment, etc. Patients should have regular fundus examination and timely intervention if there are early fundus lesions to avoid further progression of fundus diseases that may affect vision.
If the patient’s eye axis length continues to grow, the patient can be treated with posterior scleral reinforcement surgery to reinforce the eye wall and slow down the further growth of the eye axis.
It is recommended that patients with ocular axis abnormalities seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
