Pathologic Myopia and Choroidal Neovascularization
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1981In 14 of 27 eyes with choroidal neovascular membranes associated with severe myopia, visual acuity deteriorated two or more lines on the Snellen chart. Twelve of the 27 eyes became legally blind. Final visual acuity may be related to the position of the neovascular membrane within the posterior pole.

Choroidal neovascularization in pathological myopia
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2012Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment worldwide. The clinical and socioeconomic impact of myopic CNV in Asian countries is particularly significant due to rising trend in the prevalence and severity of pathological myopia.

Genetic loci for pathological myopia are not associated with juvenile myopia
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 2002AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate chromosomal regions previously linked to pathological myopia for linkage to juvenile myopia in a sample of myopic children and their families. Of 125 families with a myopic child participating in the Orinda longitudinal study of myopia, 53 submitted 221 buccal swab samples for genetic analysis.

The Development of Lacquer Cracks in Pathologic Myopia
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1988We examined three patients with pathologic myopia who had mild visual symptoms and subretinal hemorrhages. None had subretinal neovascularization. In all three patients, lacquer crack lesions of the choroid appeared shortly after clearing of the subretinal hemorrhages. The lacquer cracks were always more extensive than the preceding hemorrhages.

Pathologic myopia is a subgroup of high myopia with degenerative changes in the posterior segment of the eye. Pathologic myopia appearring in early childhood often has a genetic basis. Pathologic myopia may present alone or accompanied with inherited ocular or systemic diseases.

THE PROGRESSION OF LACQUER CRACKS IN PATHOLOGIC MYOPIA
Retina, 1996Lacquer cracks are found in the posterior fundus of 4.3% of highly myopic eyes. They represent healed and mechanical breaks of the retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, and choriocapillaris complex. This prospective study examined the progressive course and angiographic characteristics of transitional changes in highly myopic eyes with lacquer ...

Prolidase deficiency associated with pathologic myopia
Ophthalmic Genetics, 1998Deficiency of prolidase, a key enzyme in proline metabolism, is extremely rare and is usually associated with skin lesions, recurrent infections, characteristic facies, mental retardation, and splenomegaly. These clinical features are largely due to inhibition of normal recycling of proline, which causes an alteration in the metabolism of collagen and ...

Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation in pathological myopia
Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología (English Edition), 2014A 54 year old woman with pathological myopia, presented with an elevated, yellowish-white lesion at the inferior border of the myopic conus in her left eye. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated an intrachoroidal hyporeflective space. The fluorescein angiography examination (FA) showed early hypofluorescence with delayed staining, with no

Cataract Extraction in Pathological Myopia
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1976SUMMARY Fifty-three cataract extractions in eyes with pathological myopia effected visual improvement in 47 eyes (89%). The median visual acuity increased from a preoperative level of 20/300 to 20/40 postoperatively. The incidence in this series of vitreous loss (1.9%) and retinal detachment (1.9%), are within the expected range of such ...
