Health advice: Vision loss and blindness threaten people with severe myopia

Severe myopia can cause a series of dangerous complications in the retina and lens, leading to loss of vision and even blindness.

The rate of myopia is increasing, causing many impacts on the quality of life and learning and working results. However, the dangers of myopia are still not properly assessed. Long-term severe myopia increases the risk of amblyopia, glaucoma, strabismus, vitreous-retinal diseases... which can cause vision loss and blindness. Phakic is one of the refractive error treatment methods with the highest treatment threshold, optimal for groups with high myopia - astigmatism and thin corneas.
