Principles for the prevention and treatment of retinopathy in highly myopic eyes

For high myopia, the following treatments are available, among which special attention should be paid to prevent deterioration into retinal detachment. 1. Go to the ophthalmology department for a dilated eye exam at least every six months. If there are early lesions such as fissures, they should be treated with laser first to prevent deterioration into retinal detachment. 2. Take appropriate amounts of vitamins A, C and E. 3. Avoid trauma to the eye and strenuous explosive movements. If your vision suddenly becomes very poor or distorted, the retina may have detached, so you should go to the ophthalmology department immediately. 4, high myopia vision is low, difficult to correct, wear fully corrected glasses and often can not tolerate, so the prescription should be low correction, strive for some improvement in vision and can remain comfortable as appropriate, without the pursuit of the best corrected vision. Highly myopic eyes with corneal contact lenses (i.e. contact lenses) correct vision better than ordinary glasses, and can reduce the trigeminal effect of ordinary glasses, visual field limitations and other discomfort. Another characteristic of high myopia is that the disease is progressive, progressing significantly during development and not stopping in adulthood. This is mainly determined by genetic factors, but the acquired visual environment, nature of work, lifestyle habits, general health, and nutritional status also play a role. Therefore, more attention should be paid to eye hygiene, physical fitness, and prevention of vitamin A and calcium deficiency and malnutrition than others. 6, high myopia is accompanied by a series of eye degenerative diseases, and prone to serious complications, endangering vision. Highly myopic eyes become longer, the posterior sclera is weak, the retina and choroid are atrophied, and the vitreous humor is degenerated. Under the action of external force or vitreous traction, the degenerated retina is prone to form fissures and then develop into retinal detachment. Therefore, highly myopic eyes should pay special attention to avoid violent head shocks and impacts to reduce the possibility of retinal detachment, and once the flash sensation and other aura occur, timely examination is required. In addition, macular degeneration also seriously endangers central vision, and retinal hemorrhage, glaucoma and cataract may occur in highly myopic eyes, all of which should be examined and treated in time.
