A member asked:

What to do if i have myopia(4.75 in right eye and 4.25in the left eye). what to do if i have a thin retina. am 25 yr old.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get a consult: See a retinal specialist to determine if you have any significant retinal issues. A "thin" retina does not really tell you very much about the health of your retina. There are plenty of excellent retinal specialists in the Boston area.
