What does myopic fundus change mean?

Myopic fundus changes refer to changes in the fundus caused by myopia that lengthen the eyeball and shorten the retina and choroid.

Choroidal atrophy arc, retinal whole layer or choroid thinning, blood vessels flattening, posterior sclera protrusion, etc. usually occur, and new blood vessels in the macula are also formed, resulting in macular hemorrhage, edema, scarring, etc. These conditions can affect central vision.

If the patient has mild changes in the fundus of myopia, it generally does not affect vision. If severe conditions occur, it may lead to blindness. It is recommended that the patient be treated in time.
