The German Association of Ophthalmologists said that myopia raises the risk of retinal detachment, and explained that the danger lies in the shape of the eyeball, as the eyeball is longer than normal in people with myopia, which makes the retina thinner and more vulnerable to damage such as retinal holes, which may lead to Retinal detachment if not treated in time. The warning signs of retinal detachment are the deterioration of vision such as shadows in the field of vision, light flashes, or black dots, and by observing these symptoms, a doctor should be consulted quickly for timely treatment, such as laser treatment.
