Epidemiology of Myopia, High Myopia, and Pathological Myopia
2021Myopia is a major health problem throughout the world due to its increasingly high prevalence in the past few decades. Myopia, in particular high myopia, is associated with a number of ocular complications such as glaucoma and cataract that are potentially blinding.

PATHOLOGIC FINDINGS IN PATHOLOGIC MYOPIA
Retina, 1992A retrospective study was conducted of 308 eyes with pathologic myopia obtained from 202 patients (23 surgical eyes; 285 post mortem eyes) over a 67-year period. Histopathologic findings and percentage of eyes affected, in decreasing order of frequency, were myopic configuration of the optic nerve head, 37.7%; posterior staphyloma, 35.4%; degenerative ...

Complications of Pathologic Myopia
Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2016Pathologic myopia (PM) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment worldwide. The pathophysiology of PM is not fully understood, but the axial elongation of the eye followed by chorioretinal thinning is suggested as a key mechanism. Pathologic myopia may lead to many complications such as chorioretinal atrophy, foveoschisis, choroidal ...

Pathologic myopia is defined by a refractive error exceeding -6.00 diopters with associated degenerative retinal changes due to axial elongation. Key risk factors include increased age, axial length, and high myopic spherical equivalent. Clinical presentation often begins in childhood and may include visual symptoms like scotomas and metamorphopsias ...

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.

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.

Update on the Pathology of Pathological Myopia
2013Pathological myopia is a leading cause of blindness across the world. Pathological myopia has been defined in several different ways, but usually combines a high refractive error with degenerative changes. High myopia is usually associated with enlargement or elongation of the globe. The mechanical stretching forces associated with this enlargement can

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.

Automatic Detection Of Pathological Myopia And High Myopia On Fundus Images
2020 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME), 2020Automatic detection of myopia plays a significant role in clinical practice. Few studies have been done on the detection of pathological myopia, and no attention has been paid to the distinguishment between it and high myopia. Additionally, they are hard to differentiate because of the high similarity between them.

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.
