    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Obstetrics
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • High myopia in pregnancy presents potential risks during delivery.
    • Previous recommendations often advised cesarean section for high myopic patients.

    Observation:

    • Seven pregnant women with high myopia (up to 15 diopters) underwent vaginal delivery.
    • Close monitoring of visual acuity and refractive error was performed.

    Findings:

    • No adverse effects on vision or progression of myopia were observed post-vaginal delivery.
    • Vaginal delivery was successfully managed without complications related to high myopia.

    Implications:

    • Vaginal delivery can be a safe option for women with high myopia.
    • Current practices may be revised to include recommendations for vaginal birth in high myopic pregnancies.
