Must high myopia be pathological myopia

summary

A friend of mine was short-sighted when he was a teenager, and then it increased in varying degrees every year. Now he has advanced to high myopia. Let me talk about whether high myopia must be pathological myopia.

Must high myopia be pathological myopia

First, the condition of the eye is genetically related. But there is no absolute and inevitable relationship. Genetic factors are just one of the reasons for eye condition. Under the condition that myopia can occur, hyperopia can also become myopia. Under normal circumstances, hyperopia can become emmetropia. High myopia is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.

Second: the general situation of high myopia can be called pathological, but there is still a certain difference, if it is really physiological, the basic deepening is very slow and basically not deepening. If it is pathological, it may be deepening. The difference is that the former is called static, and can be treated with glasses and surgery. If it is the latter, it can be called high myopia degeneration. In order to prevent the development, posterior scleral reinforcement can be considered to prevent the deepening of myopia.

Third: the probability of pathological high myopia is the biggest, because generally no one can always fatigue with the eyes, leading to the degree of development to more than 1000, which is generally caused by some other eye diseases. Generally, it tends to be stable in adulthood, but it can not be ruled out that a few patients will still develop, so it needs to be treated according to the etiology.

matters needing attention

In our daily life, we should pay attention to eye hygiene, actively treat and prevent pseudomyopia, timely relax our eyes, and eat more eye-catching food.
