[Paying attention to the management of blinding complications caused by early-onset high myopia in children].

Abstract

Early-onset high myopia (eoHM) in children is a kind of high myopia that occurs in preschool children. While affecting the visual development process, eoHM can cause a series of complications such as retinal rupture and detachment, and posterior scleral staphyloma, which not only damage the visual function, but also delay the overall development of children. Therefore, early prevention, early diagnosis, timely treatment, and long-term management are crucial. This article discusses the necessity and key points of the management of blinding complications caused by eoHM in children, in order to attract doctors' attention and provide guidance for clinical work.
