Which is more serious, farsightedness or myopia, depends on the age and the degree. For small children, high degree farsightedness and low degree myopia are equally serious, but if low degree farsightedness, it is not very serious. All newborn children have some degree of physiological hyperopia, but physiological hyperopia can easily form strabismus and amblyopia if the number of degrees is high. If the degree of myopia is high, it is likely to develop into high myopia and may have some fundus pathology in adulthood. In adults, farsightedness may be more serious than myopia, especially if the farsightedness is high, which may cause premature presbyopia and may affect the ability to see close objects. If the degree of myopia is high, it is also more serious and may cause high myopia fundus lesions. In general, in children, as long as there is myopia or high hyperopia, are more serious, the degree of the two is not distinguished from each other, but the low degree of hyperopia is relatively lighter, adults will be more serious than myopia, but high myopia is also very serious.
