It is said that high myopia is also evidence of caesarean section. Heavy force during normal labor will lead to retinal detachment and blindness. Therefore, can high myopia give birth smoothly?
During pregnancy, expectant mothers with high myopia do have a series of corresponding changes in their eyes, such as increased central corneal thickness, increased intraocular pressure, etc., and their eyesight will decline, and these symptoms will slowly recover after delivery.
As to whether caesarean section is required for patients with high myopia (greater than 600 degrees), many clinical studies at present show that the ocular complications (such as retinal detachment, which is the most worrying issue) caused by normal delivery of pregnant women with high myopia, are not significantly increased compared with those of non-high myopia pregnant women.
The recommendation of caesarean section for pregnant women with high myopia is also the opinion of some doctors and is not supported by medical evidence.
Therefore, no matter whether you are myopic or highly myopic, or even the expectant mother after laser surgery for highly myopic, if there is no taboo of vaginal delivery for obstetric and other complications, you can give birth vaginally without worry.
If you are still not at ease, you can’t just pay attention to the degree. It is best to see an ophthalmologist before delivery to see if there are any other fundus diseases. If your eyes are only in a simple state of high myopia, you don’t have to worry about eye problems during normal labor.
