Activity Outline
In this article, ophthalmologists Dr Tanya Trinh and Dr Chris Qureshi describe the prevalence and impact of high myopia on vision impairment and blindness. Additionally, they discuss surgical solutions for high myopia currently available.
The public misconception that myopia is a ‘benign’ disease should be (and is) a key point of focus for re-education of wider health organisational structures.
We are facing a global epidemic of myopia, and high myopia in particular. To manage its impact and prevent sight-threatening complications, all eye health care providers have a moral responsibility to ensure patients with myopia are screened and cared for.

- Understand the global prevalence and importance of high myopia
- Be aware of the pathological implications of high myopia
