Adult Myopia Disease Understanding

Myopia refers to a spectrum of ocular disorders in which the far point of the eye is closer to the retina than infinity. It is becoming a worldwide epidemic and imposes a tremendous public health burden. As a consequence, the global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness has grouped refractive error as one of five leading causes of blindness and visual impairment in the world.

Myopia can be categorized by severity and age of onset. Severity is often categorized as low myopia (between − 0.50 and − 2.99 D), moderate myopia (between − 3.00 and − 5.99 D), and high myopia as worse than or equal to − 6.00 D. The signs and symptoms for myopia include squinting, feeling fatigued when driving or playing sports along with headache and strain.

Age is one of the major risk factors for myopia and visual stress experienced by adults as a result of doing detailed work, such as reading or using a computer leads to development and progression of myopia over time.

Myopia could lead to permanent loss of sight and it has been associated with complications, such as myopic macular degeneration, retinal detachment, cataract, and open angle glaucoma. These complications can lead to irreversible visual impairment later in life.

Myopia and its associated complications are an increasing public health concern. While glasses and contact lens correction are valuable in treating the symptomatic vision changes associated with myopia, they do not change the anatomic progression of the myopic eye. Low-dose atropine use (0.01%) remains the most encouraging treatment choice available at this time, though more studies are needed to identify its optimal use. Additional environmental studies will also help determine if there are lifestyle changes that could slow myopia’s progression. In the meantime, vision screening and early detection remain essential for diagnosis and correction to avoid the loss of correctable, functional vision.

According to a study by Retina Today (2019), in 2010, an estimated 1.9 billion people (27% of the world’s population) were myopic, and 70 million of them (2.8%) had high myopia. These numbers are projected to rise to 52% and 10%, respectively, by 2050.
