[2025-10-01T21:43:06.814086] [PI reasoning] **Analyzing degenerative myopia facts**

I'm focusing on the question about degenerative myopia. It’s noted that degenerative myopia is more common in females than males, making option A false. Pathological myopia indeed leads to retinal detachment, so option B is true. It’s considered high myopia when it exceeds 6 diopters, which means option C is false. There's also a racial aspect, with it being more prevalent in East Asians, making D false. So, I conclude that B is correct. I need citations to support this, so I’ll search for relevant articles.
