What is 500 degrees of myopia?

Not everyone's myopia is the same. Myopia also has its own degrees of severity. Generally, the more severe the myopia, the higher the degree. When people measure their vision, they usually do it on a vision chart, and the degrees on the vision chart are different from the degrees they know in real life. So if your myopia reaches 500 degrees, what will the degree be on the eye chart?

Different degrees of myopia are classified into different types, and myopia also varies in severity. People with mild myopia have more freedom in fitting glasses, while those with high degrees have certain restrictions in both correcting vision and activities. Is 500 degrees of myopia considered serious? Let's learn about it below.

If we convert 500 degrees myopia according to the eye chart and degree, 0.15 and 4.2 both correspond to 500 degrees. In other words, the visual acuity of 500 degrees myopia is 0.15 or 4.2. However, this is not decisive. Therefore, the visual acuity of 500 degrees myopia is 0.15 or 4.2. This can only be regarded as a reference data, because everyone's vision is different, and some are affected by other factors. For example, some people have astigmatism, some people have eye diseases, and so on. There are many factors that affect vision, and measuring vision with just a few points is not absolute.

Myopia of more than 300 degrees is considered moderate myopia, while myopia of more than 600 degrees is considered high myopia. Obviously, myopia of 500 degrees is already moderate myopia, and it is tending towards high myopia. It can be said that myopia of 500 degrees is considered serious. If 500-degree myopia is not properly protected, it can easily become high myopia.

Some people with high myopia are prone to fundus lesions and cannot participate in strenuous activities to avoid retinal detachment and blindness. Complications of high myopia not only affect vision, but also affect some aspects of life. For people with 500-degree myopia, who have not yet entered the stage of high myopia, they must protect their eyes well.

In normal times, you must insist on wearing glasses. In this era of rampant electronic products, don’t look at computers or mobile phones for too long. Generally, if it is nearly an hour, you should have a good rest. You can eat some food and fruits that are good for the eyes. Be careful not to stay up late at night. Proper rest is also very helpful for eyesight.
