Eye axis lengthening is impossible to recover normally. Similar to height, if the height grows to a certain extent, it is almost difficult to make the height shorter. The growth of the eye axis is also almost impossible if you want to shorten the eye axis once it grows. Generally, the growth of the eye axis will be accompanied by an increase in myopia. The normal 1mm eye axis growth is basically about 250 degrees of myopia. Therefore, if there is obvious too fast growth of eye axis, the growth of myopia is also very fast, especially in children, certain myopia prevention and control interventions, such as wearing orthokeratology glasses or using low-concentration atropine, can effectively control the further growth of eye axis. If in adults, due to family genetic factors or eye factors caused by pathological myopia, after adulthood myopia degree is also constantly growing rapidly, often need to carry out the way of posterior sclera reinforcement, to a certain extent to control the growth of myopia degree, will also control the extension of the eye axis. General eye axis growth too long often will also cause retinal split and fundus problems, all need to cause close attention.
