Detail
Condition
Key Mechanisms
Target Population
Patients diagnosed with high myopia (AL ≥ 26 mm) and emmetropia (AL 21-24.49 mm; define emmetropia).
Care Setting

Diagnosis
Management
Monitoring & Follow-up
Regular assessment of serum liver function and lipid profiles (specify frequency, e.g., every 6 months).
Risks
Patient & Prescribing Data
Few effective methods for preventing and controlling complications in high myopia have been identified; implications for clinical practice should be discussed.
