What is High Myopia?
In myopia, seeing distant objects becomes challenging, with faraway images appearing blurry and out of focus. You may find it difficult to clearly view text or images on a blackboard, movie screen, or television, though nearby objects remain clear.
Myopia typically results from a natural alteration in the shape of the eyeball, where it becomes more oval (egg-shaped) rather than round. This change causes light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it.
Symptoms of High Myopia:
High myopia, generally defined as having a prescription stronger than -6D, can lead to various symptoms, including:
- Eyestrain
- Headaches
- Squinting
- Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
Causes of High Myopia:
High myopia is often inherited and is characterised by the eyeball growing too long, disrupting its normal proportions. This causes light to focus in front of the retina, leading to blurred vision and potential complications, such as:
- Thinning of the retina’s centre (macula), leading to a loss of central vision while peripheral vision remains unaffected.
- Retinal thinning, which can result in tears or holes, increasing the risk of retinal detachment.
- Myopic retinoschisis (MRS), where the retina splits.
- Choroidal neovascularization (CNV), where new, abnormal blood vessels form under the retina, leading to potential bleeding and scarring.
- Increased eye pressure, heightening the risk of glaucoma.
- A higher likelihood of developing cataracts.
- Greater vulnerability to eye injuries and other traumas, including surgical complications.
Risk Factors for High Myopia:
High myopia is more prevalent in certain populations and may be associated with various genetic conditions and childbirth factors, such as:
- Asian and Middle Eastern ancestries
- Congenital glaucoma
- Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)
- Ocular albinism
- Marfan syndrome
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
