Myopia, or nearsightedness, typically does not cause blindness on its own; however, it can increase the risk of developing serious eye conditions that may lead to vision loss. High myopia can contribute to complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. These conditions can potentially result in blindness if not properly managed. Regular eye exams and proper treatment can help mitigate these risks.

Why in high myopia night blindness occurs?
Night blindness in individuals with high myopia can occur due to several factors, including retinal changes and abnormalities associated with severe myopia. The elongation of the eyeball in high myopia can lead to stretching and thinning of the retina, which may impact its ability to function effectively in low light conditions. Additionally, conditions such as retinal degenerations or the presence of macular changes can further compromise night vision. These factors collectively hinder the eye's ability to adapt to low-light environments, resulting in night blindness.
