High Myopia Symptoms Type Causes & Treatment

High myopia, also referred to as severe or pathological myopia, is an uncommonly high degree of nearsightedness (myopia). With high myopia, individuals typically exhibit an eyeball that protrudes too far behind the retina instead of directly on it causing light entering to focus in front of it instead of directly onto it and leading to blurred distance vision while near vision may remain clear.

High myopia is defined by refractive errors exceeding -6.00 diopters; however, its severity can differ among individuals, with some experiencing refractive errors of greater than -8.00 or even exceeding -10.00 diopters. It typically appears in children or adolescence and progresses gradually over time.

Regular eye examinations for those suffering from high myopia are essential in monitoring any changes to vision and early identification of potential complications. Sanjeevan Netralaya's Advanced Ayurvedic eye care has achieved impressive results in treating High Myopia. Through their patient-centric approach, personalized treatment plans are meticulously tailored to each individual's specific requirements and pain-free experiences are ensured without discomfort or side effects.

What are the symptoms of High Myopia?

High myopia (or severe myopia) is defined by an unusually high degree of nearsightedness. While its symptoms vary according to each individual, common manifestations include:

· Blurred Distance Vision: When objects in the distance appear blurry or out-of-focus, near vision may still remain clear.

· Difficulty with Distance Vision: People suffering from high myopia often struggle to see distant objects such as street signs, whiteboards and faces from far away.

· Squinting or Eye Strain: Individuals with high myopia often strain their eyes when trying to focus on distant objects clearly, leading them to squint or strain their vision in an attempt to improve their vision.

· Eye Fatigue: Prolonged visual tasks such as reading or using the computer may cause eye fatigue and discomfort for individuals with high myopia.

· Poor distance vision can cause headaches when engaging in activities that require visual focus, leading to frequent headaches as a result of straining eyes.

· Difficulties with Night Vision: High myopia may result in impaired night vision, making it challenging to see clearly in low-light conditions.

· Increased Sensitivity to Glare: People suffering from high myopia may be particularly sensitive to bright lights and glare, leading to discomfort and vision difficulties.

· Squinting or Holding Objects Close: Individuals with high myopia often unconsciously compensate for their blurred distance vision by unconsciously squinting or holding objects closer to their face in order to see them more clearly.

Considerations should be given to the fact that these symptoms could also indicate other eye issues; to receive an accurate diagnosis it is vital to visit an eye care professional for a comprehensive eye examination and diagnosis. Regular check-ups for individuals with high myopia are especially essential in monitoring their eye health and detecting potential complications like retinal detachment or macular degeneration which could result from having such condition.

What are the causes of High Myopia?

The exact causes of high myopia, also known as severe or pathological myopia, are not fully understood. However, several factors have been identified as potential contributors to its development. These causes include:

· Genetic Factors: There is a strong genetic component to myopia, including high myopia. Individuals with who have a family history are more likely to develop high myopia. Multiple genes are believed to play a role in determining the development and progression of myopia.

· Environmental Factors: Environmental factors, such as prolonged near work activities (such as reading, writing, or using electronic devices) and lack of outdoor activities, have been associated with an increased risk of myopia development, including high myopia. Insufficient exposure to natural light and spending excessive time on close-up tasks may contribute to the elongation of the eyeball.

· Structural Abnormalities of the Eye: In individuals with high myopia, the eyeball is often longer than normal, which leads to the focusing of light rays in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Structural abnormalities of the cornea or lens may also contribute to the development of high myopia.

· Imbalance in the Growth of Eye Components: The growth and development of the eye involve complex processes that require a delicate balance. In high myopia, there may be an imbalance in the growth of certain eye components, such as the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye), choroid (the vascular layer beneath the retina), and retina, leading to excessive elongation of the eyeball.

· Hormonal and Systemic Factors: Some studies suggest that hormonal and systemic factors, such as changes during puberty or hormonal imbalances, may influence the development of high myopia. However, further research is needed to establish a clear link.

It's important to note that while these factors are believed to contribute to the development of high myopia, the condition is likely influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. High myopia can also be influenced by individual variations and interactions between these factors. Further research is needed to fully understand the underlying causes of high myopia and its complex interplay with various factors.

Not sure the multiple sclerosis would have killed me, per se - usually takes a few decades to get there - but it would’ve suuuuuuuucked, and my survival would be highly dependent on the goodwill of my community.

Then again, perhaps the many exciting diseases circulating back then would have provided sufficient enrichment to fully distract my overachieving immune system from the temptation posed by the rare delicacy that is my spine and brain.

I was also incredibly nearsighted (-7.75) until I got my eyes lasered, so I think I would’ve needed to pursue a career in something like weaving or… I don’t know, whatever nuns did.

That said, matronly, domineering older women are kind of my lesbian catnip, so maybe I could make that work.

…and based on my personal history with anorexia, I seem to be surprisingly resilient in the face of near-starvation (dodged some of the really dangerous potential consequences; I’m very fortunate, which I suspect is because some of my ancestors probably weren’t). So. Another plus.

Anyone else with high myopia around here? I am honestly so worried about my eyesight getting worse and... you know.

When your friend let you try his extremely powerful eyeglasses and you go to the restroom just to play with them... He has been blind 🦯 for a couple of minutes.

Fun fact for my Tumblr friends I have the insane glasses prescription of -14.75, -12.75 (plus 4/4.5 CYL aka astigmatism) and it makes finding glasses so fucking difficult and it's that time again because my glasses are 4 years old and falling apart and I'm so frustrated by all of the optical labs around me being clueless as to how to deal with my prescription lmao

I'm gonna be spending minimum 500USD for one pair of glasses too and that's the lowest it's been in years (5 years ago a local shop quoted me 900) but it's still a lot!

Anyway just venting bc I'm tired of having to deal with being a medical anomaly 😩

[enigmaticpink]

Wow one eye only got worse by like -0.25 diopters and the other got worse by a whole diopter

[lemonjoonah]

Oh wow Namjoon!

So the vast majority of times we see him wearing glasses he's also had contacts in too?!?!? Since lenses we often see on him are almost always WAY thinner than the sphere of his Rx (OD -7.75 OS -7.50) alone would allow. But I hope he knows we love him in whatever glasses he chooses to wear, prescription or otherwise.

Sorry if this is a weird request, but as an eyeball enthusiast I have to ask: what do you hc as far as FACE family's vision? Myopia v. hyperopia? Dioptres? (if that's not too specific) Central/sectoral heterochromia, eye freckles, iris patterns? Anyone with partial or full colour blindness? (since it's much more common in men)

This request has been sitting in my drafts for a bit because I wanted to sit down and illustrate it! I am not an eyeball enthusiast, so excuse my knowledge being limited but I do have headcanons about their eyes! Their prescriptions (Because I have given them all prescriptions) are based off of what I know from myself and friends with glasses and vibes, so feel free to correct them if they're totally nonsensical!

France

Francis' eyes are deep blue, but looks violet depending on the lighting.

He needs glasses but doesn't wear them, he's in denial because he doesn't like how they look on his face and he's scared of contact lenses. The idea of putting stuff in his eyes? He does not like that.

It's also the reason he's always holding that slight squint that people think is just him trying to look more mysterious than he is.

America

Alfred didn't always need glasses, but his vision began to worsen over time as a result largely stemming from prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.

He has central heterochromia and a single eye freckle, and the reason I don't really see him having fully blue eyes is because I sort of see him being too diverse to just have pure blue eyes?

Canada

I see Matthew's eye color and eye variations to be a type of albinism and he has always needed glasses of a pretty high prescription!

Until glasses was available to him, I think he was hard pressed navigating the forest, but I think he'd like it when everything was covered in snow, because then if something turned up and moved that wasn't white, it was easier to spot? It's a love-hate relationship though, because the snow would literally blind him by how bright it is.

England

I haven't considered color blindness and a disclaimer that I haven't read into it, but I think if anyone would be color blind of any degree, it would be Arthur.

Arthur's eyes, compared to his brothers, are the least green of them all and I have had this headcanon for a very long time. If you look closely, his eyes are practically just as brown as they are green.

He uses reading glasses he bought at the drugstore and Francis borrows them at times in secret.

I hope you can use that for something! I use these headcanons subconsciously when I draw, if you look through my art of England you will notice that I've colored his eyes this way for a while!
