Can high myopia keep fit?
High myopia can keep fit, but high-intensity exercise and various extreme sports, such as bungee jumping and skydiving, are not recommended.

High myopia refers to myopia with diopter of -6D or above, which is often caused by the increase of myopia caused by eyeball elongation. After the axial length becomes longer, the retina is stretched and the retinal layer becomes thinner, which may lead to retinal breaks, severe retinal degeneration and other fundus diseases, and even lead to retinal detachment in severe cases.

However, when the human body does some high-intensity exercise and some extreme exercise, it will lead to unstable intraocular pressure. When bungee jumping, the intraocular pressure will suddenly rise, which will cause retinal holes. The retina of patients with high myopia is relatively thin, so the risk of the above complications will be greater than that of normal people. It is suggested that patients with high myopia should pay attention to eye changes at any time and check their fundus regularly. If there are shadows, occlusion, flashes, floating objects or decreased vision in front of you, you need to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible to determine whether there is retinal detachment.
