Patients with high myopia have an even higher chance of various other eye disorders.
Myopia is most often inherited.
Myopia leads to an increased risk of serious eye conditions such as myopic macular degeneration, retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts that can lead to visual impairment or blindness.
These eye diseases become more prevalent as the levels of myopia increase.
Myopia can be treated with the correct use of eyedrops.
