Studies investigating the occurrence of myopic complications in individuals of European ancestry with high myopia are scarce, hampering insights into the frequency of myopic retinal complications in European individuals and their visual burden. Importance High myopia incidence and prevalence is increasing worldwide, and the visual burden caused by myopia is expected to rise accordingly.
