Pathologic Myopia: Complications and Visual Rehabilitation [PDF]
High myopia, defined as refractive error of at least −6.00D or an axial length of 26.5 mm or more, can induce many modifications in eye’s anatomy that can lead to complications. When high myopia is able to decrease best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) due

Abnormal Serum Lipid Levels and Ocular Metabolic Mediators in Adult‐Onset Myopia: A Cohort Study
Elevated levels of “good cholesterol” markers apolipoprotein A (APOA) and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) were prospectively associated with an increased risk of developing adult‐onset myopia, whereas higher levels of “bad cholesterol” markers apolipoprotein B (APOB) and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) were associated with a ...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate choroidal changes in high myopic (HM) patients with posterior staphyloma (PS) and explore their association with Gaussian curvature (K) using ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF‐OCTA). Methods HM patients with wide macular PS (Type I PS) and without any PS (control) were recruited.

Influence of posterior staphyloma morphology on macular hole closure patterns in highly myopic eyes
Abstract Purpose To examine how posterior staphyloma morphology affects macular hole closure patterns in highly myopic eyes. Methods Retrospective study analysing 188 highly myopic macular holes (MMH) with axial length ≥ 26.5 mm that underwent surgery with either internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling or inverted flap technique over a 10‐year period.

Myopic Traction Maculopathy: A New Perspective on Classification and Management
Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) is a complex disease affecting approximately 30% of eyes with pathologic myopia. A review of the history of treatment of MTM with success rates and limitations of different surgical techniques are reported.The pathogenesis, the definition and the management were clarified in a recent study(cit). The MTM Staging System (
