摘要

Abstract

In recent years

as myopia has shown a trend towards onset at younger ages

ophthalmologists have begun to pay high attention to early-onset high myopia (eoHM) in children. Childhood high myopia is a condition closely associated with ocular and systemic diseases. Studies have found that approximately 54% of children with high myopia have accompanying systemic diseases. eoHM is typically closely related to genetic factors and is often comorbid with syndromes. Often

before high myopia is diagnosed

the underlying systemic disease may remain undiagnosed. Therefore

eoHM also serves as an important clue for the early clinical identification of potential systemic diseases. With the rapid development of genetic testing technologies

ophthalmologists have gained a deeper understanding of genes related to systemic diseases associated with eoHM. Strengthening its genetic diagnosis and research is crucial for the early prevention

early diagnosis

timely treatment

and long-term management of both vision and systemic diseases in children with eoHM. Furthermore

for children with eoHM

the collaboration of multidisciplinary teams is necessary to ensure the timely detection and treatment of possible syndrome-associated disorders caused by genetic factors

jointly completing the diagnostic and therapeutic work

and improving the management system for blinding complications of eoHM. This will ultimately provide children with reasonable and precise treatment

enhancing their visual quality and quality of life.
