Brief Answer:
Possible complications of High Myopia.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

Your symptoms are related to High Myopia leading to Retinal changes.

I advise you to get Fundus examination by consulting an Opthalmologist.

High Myopics are at risk of Retinal detachments.

So get the investigations at the earliest.

Thank you.
