What to do with severe myopia

The so-called high myopia means that the degree of myopia of both eyes reaches more than 600 degrees. Although many friends have high myopia due to acquired factors, such as excessive use of eyes or lack of attention to eye hygiene, some people have high myopia due to genetics. This situation is also called pathological high myopia and there is no way to correct it. So, what should we do if we have high myopia?

If high myopia is not adjusted, it will easily lead to retinal thinning as age increases, and may even cause some fundus diseases, which will eventually affect a person's normal visual ability. Therefore, using methods to correct high myopia is the best solution.

How to improve vision in patients with high myopia?

It is currently believed that the way to improve vision for patients with high myopia is to wear glasses and undergo necessary surgical treatment. Before getting glasses, you must first find out the degree through an optometrist. Patients with high myopia often cannot get good corrected vision due to fundus lesions. When the use of fully corrective lenses is no longer tolerated, the degree has to be reduced (usually between 100 and 300 degrees) in an effort to maintain comfort and binocular vision function. Therefore, patients with high myopia should pay special attention and go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for eye examination and glasses fitting.

In addition, wearing corneal contact lenses can increase the field of vision, reduce visual distortion, and have a better cosmetic effect. However, it is necessary to operate according to the requirements, pay attention to eye hygiene and replace it frequently to reduce the occurrence of complications. In recent years, surgical treatment of myopia has attracted more and more attention. If a patient with high myopia has good corrected vision, surgical treatment can be considered. However, for patients with poor corrected vision, the surgical effect is not ideal, and the long-term effect of myopia surgery is still difficult to confirm. For those with high myopia and macular degeneration, a macular aid can be used to help with reading and distant vision.

Now that you know what to do if you have high myopia, if you want to improve your eyesight, please be sure to follow the above methods. Even if it cannot improve your eyesight, it can ensure that your eyesight does not continue to deteriorate. Only in this way can you ensure the health of your eyes. In addition, it is also recommended that friends with severe myopia should not play with mobile phones before going to bed at night.
