Breaking the myopia myth
Pregnancy can affect the eye, but the recommendation that short-sighted women have a caesarean section to protect their vision is outdated and unnecessary.

Some women experience eye and vision changes during pregnancy.
In 2015, 21% of births worldwide were by caesarean section1, more than double the number two decades ago. When warranted, the procedure saves lives, but it is major surgery and comes with numerous risks, including maternal death, bleeding and uterine rupture and, in subsequent pregnancies, stillbirth or preterm birth. Consequently, efforts have been underway for years to understand what is driving this trend and to identify women who are receiving the intervention unnecessarily.
Part of Nature Outlook: The eye
Women with myopia — difficulty seeing objects in the distance (also known as short-sightedness) as a result of the eye growing too long from front to back, a lens that is too thick or curvature issues with the cornea — undergo a disproportionately high number of caesareans, particularly in Eastern Europe. Researchers at the University Clinical Hospital Rijeka in Croatia, for instance, found that, over a 10-year period at the hospital, women with myopia were 1.5 times more likely to give birth by caesarean than were women who were not myopic2. Women requiring the strongest prescription lenses were nearly four times more likely to have a caesarean.
It was thought that, during the pushing stage of labour, short-sighted women might be at risk of retinal detachment — a condition in which the retina separates from the layer underneath, at the back of the eye, which can cause permanent vision loss or blindness. However, mechanistically or physiologically, there is no link to support this, says Samer Elsherbiny, a consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Warwick Hospital, UK. “This is a prevalent urban myth.”
