Myopia itself is not harmful to health, but some forms can increase the risk of retinal detachment or tear. Honored Doctor of Tatarstan, ophthalmologist Elena Zhidenko talked about this in an interview with the portal. “Tatarstan-24”.
“Myopia can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or laser vision correction. It is possible to perform surgery on the lens with intraocular lens implantation to compensate for myopia, astigmatism and even presbyopia. But unfortunately, all the symptoms and problems of myopic eyes will not end there.”
The doctor explained that ophthalmologists struggle with degenerative pathological manifestations of myopia, such as retinal tears and detachments. To prevent these, it is important for myopic people to follow the recommendations of the ophthalmologist, not to endure discomfort and not refuse to use glasses or contact lenses at any age. They are especially important for children because they not only allow them to see normally, but also slow or stop the progression of myopia.
