That is interesting about the retinal detachment. I have 20/200 and have had a retinal detachment in left eye. I wonder why a higher risk with worse vision? Mine was not caused by trauma but they did say I have a higher risk for detachment in my right eye because of my history.
It’s an anatomic thing.
High myopes have a longer axial length which makes their eye longer from front to back.
That abnormal shape of the eye (picture things stretching) is what increases the risk of RD.
