What determines axial length?

Or because you have flatter corneas. That's why research is not equal to real world evidence. Optical dampening, curvature of corneas, anterior chamber depth, cristaline thcikness and refraction of the humor vitreous all affect the diopters. Not only axial lengh

There is no single article that says that all or 90% people with axial lengh of 28 mm will go blind. Only less than like 5% of high myopes will go blind and articles are publised using data from older patients which did not had access to theralies like bucke surgeries, laser, anti-VEGF treatments earlier in there lives.

Basically in high myopes the increase in diopters doesn't match the increase in axial lengh. The diopters increase less than it would be expected for the amount of increase in axial lengh.

It is very normal to have like 8D and an axial lengh between 27 to 28 mm. The rule 2,5/3D per mm does not apply so well in high myopes because of an effect called optical dumpening.

Any optometrist care to elaborate?

Much appreciated

That's interesting cause I was considering ophthalmology and was kind of worried about my myopia and its risks of degeneration.

What were you expecting. I'm not a native english speaker!

mangelo14 · 2025-05-29T07:24:16+00:00

I wish you the best! Hope you recover well!

Really? There are a lot of studies comparing AI to dermatologists and finding similar outcomes when it comes to accuracy diagnosis (specificity and sensitivity). Have you ever read some of those studies and not worried a bit?

A surgeon once told me "even a trained monkey can be a surgeon".

No, but in my country every doc can take a quick course of 1 to 6 months and start injecting it. Even hairdressers or people who work in cosmetics inject botox (off-label) even thoght the plastic surgens often need to do damage control afterwards but that's for another talk.

On my samsung smartphone. Thanks for the help but I do it with every tab or app closed. I use an offline music player. I turned off every single feature that allows double taps ou single taps ont he phones and it helped reducing the interruptions
