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 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.

CORRELATIONS BETWEEN EXPERIMENTAL MYOPIA MODELS AND HUMAN PATHOLOGIC MYOPIA
Retina, 2019Purpose: To analyze the hallmark features of pathologic myopia developed in animal models and compare them with those seen in patients. Methods: A literature review was performed to identify animal models that exhibited key features of pathologic myopia, namely posterior staphyloma,

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 ...
