Abstract: myopia surgery only eliminates the degree of myopia, but has no effect on myopia itself, that is, organic diseases related to high myopia still exist. Therefore, surgery can not eliminate the complications caused by high myopia., Myopia is divided by degree, Generally greater than 600 degrees Ametropia (children > 400 degrees) is called high myopia. The occurrence of high myopia is closely related to heredity, and the acquired environment plays an important role in the pathogenesis of myopia. The harm of high myopia mainly lies in the complications: first, vitreous, choroidal and retinal degeneration caused by abnormal eye structure and nutritional disorders; second, due to the elongation of ocular axis and sclera Macular degeneration, atrophy and posterior staphyloma caused by abnormal biomechanics., Amblyopia and strabismus caused by low vision and dysregulation of convergence., However, there are many wrong perceptions about high myopia: 1. High myopia is not a disease. Generally speaking, simple myopia below 600 degrees is not considered to belong to the category of “disease”. However, high myopia not only has a high degree of myopia, but also may be complicated with vitreous and retinopathy. In severe cases, it can cause blindness, which belongs to the category of “disease”.,
myopia is divided by degree, Ametropia generally greater than 600 degrees (children > 400 degrees) is called high myopia. The occurrence of high myopia is closely related to heredity, and the acquired environment plays an important role in the pathogenesis of myopia.
the harm of high myopia mainly lies in complications:
1. Vitreous, choroidal and retinal degeneration caused by ocular structural abnormalities and nutritional disorders.
and
are macular degeneration, atrophy and posterior staphyloma caused by axial elongation, scleral elongation and abnormal biomechanics.
and
are amblyopia and strabismus caused by low vision and dysregulation of convergence.
however, there are many wrong perceptions about high myopia:
1 high myopia is not a disease
generally speaking, simple myopia below 600 degrees is not considered to belong to the category of “disease”. However, high myopia not only has a high degree of myopia, but also may be complicated with vitreous and retinopathy. In severe cases, it can cause blindness, which belongs to the category of “disease”.
2 high myopia is a serious disease.
some patients with high myopia are worried and even lose their confidence in life.
this is not desirable. Paying attention to disease is not a bad thing, but we can’t worry too much. Although complications such as retinal detachment and macular hemorrhage are more common in high myopia, the incidence rate is not very high. With the development of medicine, early detection and early treatment can achieve better therapeutic effect.
3 high myopia is caused by children watching TV and playing mobile phones.
high myopia is a genetic eye disease, and its degree is largely related to genetic and developmental factors.
TV, computer and mobile phone are effective ways for children to accept new knowledge and new things. Children should not be completely prevented from contacting these electronic products. Parents should supervise their children, control the time of using electronic products within a scientific range, and ensure their children’s healthy eye use.
4 surgery can treat high myopia.
myopia surgery only eliminates the degree of myopia, but has no effect on myopia itself, that is, organic diseases related to high myopia still exist. Therefore, surgery can not eliminate the complications caused by high myopia.
5 pregnant women with high myopia can’t give birth naturally
pregnant women with high myopia often ask “can they give birth naturally?”, If you give birth naturally, you are afraid of the risk of retinal detachment.
there is no direct correlation between the occurrence of retinal detachment and the course of labor (the most inducement). There have been reports of “retinal detachment caused by sneezing”, but “sneezing” is by no means the cause of the disease.
therefore, if no serious lesions are found in the fundus during prenatal detailed inspection, it can be delivered naturally.
