Unlike what many people think, the problem with having myopia does not only entail the need for glasses, which is easily solvable with laser surgery or intraocular lenses. And it is when the myopia is greater than approximately 6 dioptres that it is considered high myopia or pathological myopia. Here, the problem is not just the need for glasses but, as the eyeball is considerably longer than usual, the retina is weakened and susceptible to serious complications at an early stage of life, such as the appearance of neovascular membranes or retinal detachment. In fact, these complications are one of the main causes of vision impairment in middle-aged patients in the western world. This way, if we manage to prevent the myopia from reaching such high levels by using myopia management techniques (such as using these specific contact lenses), we will prevent long-term complications in patients.
