Overview
High myopia is a severe form of nearsightedness where the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of on it. This can lead to serious eye health issues and requires specialized care to manage and control its progression.
Conditions Treated
- Pathologic Myopia: Progressive elongation of the eye leading to vision impairment.
- Myopic Macular Degeneration: Degeneration of the central part of the retina due to high myopia.
- Retinal Detachment: Increased risk due to the elongation of the eye.
- Glaucoma and Cataracts: Higher likelihood of developing these conditions with high myopia.
Procedures
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea and reduce myopia.
- Atropine Eye Drops: Low-dose atropine drops to slow down the progression of myopia in children.
- Multifocal Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses: Designed to reduce eye strain and control the progression of myopia.
- Laser Therapy: Using laser to treat retinal tears or holes caused by high myopia.
- Surgical Interventions: Procedures like phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for vision correction.
Preparation and Recovery
- Pre-Treatment: Detailed eye examination and imaging tests to assess the degree of myopia and eye health.
- Post-Treatment: Regular follow-ups to monitor eye health and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. Instructions on eye care and the use of prescribed lenses or medications.
