Prevalences of macular complications, vision impairment and blindness depending on age and myopia severity. Macular complications include lacquer cracks, myopic choroidal neovascularization, chorioretinal atrophy and retinoschisis. Myopia severity in the left eye was defined as mild (−0.5 to −3 D), moderate (−3 to −6 D), high (−6 to −10 D) and very high (more than −10 D). Vision impairment and blindness were defined as best‐corrected visual acuity (VA) for the better eye strictly less than 0.5–0.05 included and strictly less than 0.05, respectively.
