It is not recommended for highly myopic patients to play roller coaster, the risk of fundus lesions is higher.
The eye axis of patients with high myopia is often longer than that of normal people, and the peripheral retina will gradually become thinner due to the longer eye axis, which is more prone to lesions such as degeneration and fissure, etc. If patients play such extreme sports as roller coaster, it will easily lead to retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and other more serious complications of the fundus.
If patients have fundus complications, they may experience discomfort such as vision loss and blocked vision, which may even lead to blindness if treated in time. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with high myopia avoid doing strenuous sports, especially extreme sports. Even if patients undergo surgical correction of high myopia, they still need to avoid it because surgery cannot change the state of the fundus.
It is recommended that patients with high myopia follow the doctor’s instructions for care, and consult the doctor when discomfort occurs, and under the doctor’s guidance for treatment.
