Does high myopia need regular eye examination?

High myopia means that the myopia degree is more than 600 degrees, and the axial length is usually more than 26 mm With the increase of myopia degree, the axial length is continuously elongated, resulting in thinning of retina and choroid and pathological changes of fundus. Once fundus complications occur, it will lead to decreased vision and even blindness.

Therefore, it is suggested that patients with high myopia should have regular eye examinations, screen fundus lesions and understand eye health. The time interval is 3~6 months. Treatment according to doctor's advice and long-term follow-up. At the same time, insist on wearing myopia glasses, develop good eye habits, and protect your eyes scientifically.

1. Measure the eye axis
