This ocular pathology, also known as high myopia<\/strong> or pathological myopia<\/strong>, differs from normal myopia in that patients suffering from it have more than six diopters, as well as a greater propensity to present ocular alterations.<\/p>\n Magna myopia is due to an excessive elongation of the eyeball that is usually associated with a thinning of the retina. This exaggerated growth of the eye can lead to early onset of posterior vitreous detachment and is an important risk factor for retinal detachment (40% of cases occur in myopic patients). Likewise, this group of patients has a greater predisposition than the general population to develop cataracts and glaucoma more frequently.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][toggles style=”minimal_small”][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”Read more”][vc_column_text]Patients with magna myopia are usually nearsighted since childhood. This type of myopia can progress to more than six diopters, usually stabilizing by the end of adolescence, or it can continue to progress with age. When this situation occurs, it is called degenerative myopia and should be closely monitored by an ophthalmologist to avoid major complications.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”1841″ animation=”None” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#d0d9e8″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”30″ bottom_padding=”100″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”cirugia-patologias” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” enable_shape_divider=”true” shape_divider_color=”#ffffff” shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_divider_height=”100″ bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”speech”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n The most appropriate solution for those suffering from choroidal neovascularization is intravitrealinjections<\/strong> to reduce the presence of fluid and macular hemorrhages.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]In any of the cases described above, it is essential that the patient with myopia magna undergo periodic ophthalmologic evaluations with ophthalmologists who are experts in retina to prevent the appearance of these complications that can seriously impair vision.
