I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. High myopia is sometimes an inherited genetic condition, and is marked by the eyeball stretching and growing too long. This throws off the eyeball's normal proportions, so that incoming light focuses in front of the retina, instead of on it. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
