Abstract: eyeball dilation causes posterior scleral staphyloma, thinning and atrophy of retina. When the atrophy involves the macula, macular hemorrhage and holes may occur, and the visual acuity is seriously reduced, with central fixed dark spots., What complications can high myopia cause? At present, with the popularity of computers, TV and mobile phones, more and more young people are suffering from myopia, and the population with high myopia is also increasing. Many people do not pay attention to myopia, so what complications will be caused by ignoring high myopia? Let’s get to know., High myopia refers to a kind of ametropia with myopia degree greater than 600 degrees and often accompanied by degenerative diseases such as eye axis extension, fundus retina and choroidal atrophy. It is a kind of pathological myopia with more complications. It is one of the common blinding eye diseases. There are five main complications: 1 Flying mosquito disease – medically known as vitreous opacity, which shows that there are dark shadows floating in front of people when they see things, just like mosquitoes flying, mainly caused by vitreous liquefaction. It is suggested that myopic patients with flying mosquito disease should regularly check the fundus and pay attention to the health of retina., 2. Retinal detachment – mainly manifested by sudden blurred vision, deformation and dark shadow occlusion, which can lead to blindness in severe cases. Once the retina is detached, surgery is needed immediately to avoid further deterioration of vision., 3. Atrophy of retina and choroid – eyeball dilation, causing posterior scleral staphyloma, thinning and atrophy of retina. When the atrophy involves the macula, macular hemorrhage and holes may occur, and the visual acuity is seriously reduced, with central fixed dark spots., 4. Glaucoma – according to statistics, many people with high myopia will develop glaucoma, and glaucoma is the second blinding eye disease at present, which is characterized by high intraocular pressure, progressive decline of vision and narrowing of visual field., 5. Cataract – high myopia is easy to be complicated with cataract. People with high myopia will develop cataract early, and the effect of cataract surgery is worse than those without a history of high myopia., What complications can
