Understanding Progressive and Degenerative Myopia
Progressive myopia can seem like a relentless march towards blurry horizons. But fear not, for knowledge is power, and at King Family Eye Care, we’re here to illuminate the intricacies of this eye condition.
What makes myopia progressive?
Unlike simple nearsightedness, progressive myopia isn’t static. It’s a dynamic process where the eyeball elongates excessively, causing light to focus in front of the retina, resulting in blurry distance vision. This elongation worsens over time, leading to rapid increases in prescription strength.
Why does this happen?
While the exact cause is unknown, research points to a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Some potential culprits are family history, excessive screen time, and close reading habits.
Understanding Degenerative Myopia
Degenerative myopia, the more severe form of progressive myopia, goes beyond the static nature of blurry vision. It involves significant structural changes in the eye, increasing the risk of sight-threatening complications.
At King Family Eye Care, we provide insights and advanced care for both progressive and degenerative myopia, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your eye health.
The Ripple Effect of Unchecked Myopia
While blurry vision might be the initial concern, progressive and degenerative myopia can have far-reaching consequences. Research suggests it increases the risk of more serious eye conditions like:
Glaucoma: This vision-threatening condition thrives in elongated eyeballs, increasing the vulnerability of individuals with progressive myopia.
Retinal detachment: The stretched retina becomes more vulnerable to tears, potentially leading to this sight-threatening condition.
Myopic maculopathy: This weakening of the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision, can significantly impact visual clarity.
