Complications of high myopia

High myopia patients are prone to eye complications, such as high myopia retinopathy, retinal detachment, glaucoma, complicated cataracts and so on. High myopia patients because of the extension of the eye axis will cause changes in the structure of the eye, these are the pathological basis of complications, when high myopia patients with eye axis extension, retina is also stretched, it is easy to show weak areas, thus causing macular neovascularization, macular hemorrhage, etc., peripheral retina because of stretching will also show lattice degeneration, dry holes and other changes. These changes, if not sealed by the laser in time, can lead to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. In addition, the elongation of the eye axis can also affect the structure of the angle of the eye. once its structure shows changes, causing tear fluid not to drain smoothly, it will form an increase in intraocular pressure, which causes glaucoma. In addition, aqueous humor circulation disorder in the eye can also cause metabolic disorders of the lens, which will form cataracts, which are common complications of high myopia.
