Yes, it is often associated with myopia (nearsightedness) and can increase the risk of retinal tears or detachment.

Can lifestyle changes help in managing peripheral retinal degeneration?

While lifestyle changes cannot reverse the condition, maintaining overall eye health through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and controlling underlying conditions like diabetes can help.

Are all cases of peripheral retinal degeneration treated with surgery?

No, mild cases may only require regular monitoring, while advanced cases with complications like retinal tears may require laser therapy or surgery.

How can peripheral retinal degeneration be monitored effectively?

Regular eye exams with retinal imaging and dilated fundus evaluations are the best ways to monitor the progression and detect any complications early.
