Degenerative Myopia Progression: Case Report and Review [PDF]
Medical & Clinical Reviews, 2016 Background: Degenerative myopia or pathological myopia is a rare subtype of high myopia, which affects about 2% of the general population. It is characterized by a progressive expansion of the eyeball without stabilization of the axial length in adulthood, causing a progressive degeneration that is often associated with retinal changes that can cause ...

Degenerative myopia: mechanical theories revisited
Annals of Eye Science, 2018 The article discusses the early abandonment of mechanical theories about eye enlargement in degenerative myopia at the turn of the 20th century. At that time, the number of theories about myopia grew unrestricted, but with scant support from the experimental field.

Revisiting pathologic myopia: imaging evidence of an inflammatory component in the pathogenesis of myopic degeneration [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicinePathologic myopia has traditionally been viewed as a degenerative disorder caused by mechanical stretching and choroidal ischemia. However, converging clinical, molecular, and imaging data increasingly suggest that chronic low-grade inflammation ...

Automatic detection of pathological myopia using machine learning
Scientific Reports, 2021 Pathological myopia is a severe case of myopia, i.e., nearsightedness. Pathological myopia is also known as degenerative myopia because it ultimately leads to blindness.
