As per Graph 1, the outcome of the study
          showed that 164 subjects reported different
          types of complications. Of the total 164 subjects,
          lattice degeneration was diagnosed in 20.73%,
          glaucoma in 6.09%, PPA in 16.46%, cataract in
          7.31%, posterior staphyloma in 18.90%, PVD in
          1.21%, vitreous degeneration in 3.65%, retinal
          detachment in 3.65%, amblyopia in 8.53%,
          macular degeneration in 5.48%, vitreous opacity
          in 2.43%, macular hole in 4.26%, and optic
          atrophy was reported in 1.21% of subjects.
             In summary, this study revealed that subjects
          with a high degree of myopia are at a higher
          risk for visual impairments. Early treatment and
          diagnosis can prevent vision loss and further
          complications. Myopia control in the early stages
          is necessary for young patients to prevent sight-
          threatening problems. Slowing the progression
          of myopia could potentially benefit millions of
          young patients, reducing the risk of myopia-
          associated complications later in life.
