A myopia of 2,000 diopters at the age of 50 needs to be corrected with frames or surgery, depending on the circumstances.
Myopia of 2000 degrees belongs to high myopia, even if the patient can reach the age of 50, there is still a possibility that myopia is unstable and increasing year by year, at this time, we can consider doing posterior scleral reinforcement surgery to control myopia growth.
If the patient’s myopia has stabilized and there are no other eye diseases, he/she can wear framed glasses or have posterior chamber IOL implantation for crystalline lens to correct his/her myopia.
If the patient’s myopia has been stabilized but combined with cataracts, then cataracts and myopia can be treated at the same time by treating the cataracts, for example, by doing cataract ultrasonic emulsification aspiration combined with IOL implantation and designing to implant an IOL with the right dioptre in the eye.
A 50-year-old patient with 2,000 degrees of myopia should go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital for a detailed examination, and the doctor will design an individualized treatment plan according to the condition.
