I'm having a slow brain day... what does 'high myope' mean?

I agree with all the above! Make her an appointment with opth. and take her yourself!! Tell her just because there is no pain doesn't mean there isn't a tear on the way to detachment!!
Just make her go!

Myopia is nearsightedness. "High myope" means REALLY nearsighted. My mom is a high myope too.

I disagree. The webbing and when she stares at something to confirm she is actually seeing something are the differentiating symptoms .

She needs to be seen by a neurologist. She needs an MRI of the brain.

There are opthamologists who also have a neurology sub-specialty. And ofe of those would refer her for a neurology workup.

If she loses sight in one eye, tell her not to freak. It will come back.

Is the webbing more accurately described as geometric lines, (which is what a web is?) and the central field of vision is obscured with the web part around the central dark part?

She didn't describe the webbing as geometric lines, more random-wavy-ish. She does also have a follow-up with an ophtho-neurologist in 2 weeks. And another ophthamologist appt is 6 weeks.
