Risks of High Myopia
High myopia significantly increases the risk of severe eye conditions, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Retinal detachment can lead to vision loss, glaucoma can damage the optic nerve, cataracts can develop earlier in life, and macular degeneration can cause loss of central vision.
