Any sudden increase in floaters or an increase in flashes should be checked. All the best, Randy Dear John,

Technically, anything greater/worse than -5.00 is considered high myopia, but, in my opinion, you are certainly unlikely to detach in your lifetime. Any sudden increase in floaters or an increase in flashes should be checked.

All the best,

I am highly myopic about -6 in both eye. am I in a high risk of retinal detachment. I start to see floaters too but I check with my doctor and he said that my retina is healthy. Hi Dr. Wong,
