Well this optometrist gets to -14.25 in the worst meridian of my worst eye. It's given me some insight (sorry) and empathy with at least my high myope patients. It's a question better tackled from the other end. High myopes are marginally more prone to retinal detachment, so occupations exposed to vibration or shocks are to be avoided: pneumatic drills, driving heavy machinery... High diver, professional football player (USA) Some occupations require good vision without glasses or contact lenses... principally branches of the military and the fire service, but heavy goods vehicle driving is also legally barred from high myopes on grounds of a minimum vision without glasses requirement in most countries. Otherwise go for it! Ski instructor, if you are happy in contacts (glasses steam up!) |
