Pathologic Myopia and Choroidal Neovascularization

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1981
In 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

2013
Pathological 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, 2002
AbstractThe 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), 2020
Automatic 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 Quality of Life in Patients with Pathologic Myopia

Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology, 2001
To evaluate the functional status of daily life and the quality of life of pathologic myopia patients.A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from pathologic myopia patients(n = 211) and control subjects(n = 144). The influence of the disease on the daily life and the quality of life of patients were evaluated using a self-rating questionnaire.

The Development of Lacquer Cracks in Pathologic Myopia

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1988
We 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.

CORRELATIONS BETWEEN EXPERIMENTAL MYOPIA MODELS AND HUMAN PATHOLOGIC MYOPIA

Retina, 2019
Purpose: 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,

Cataract Extraction in Pathological Myopia

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1976
SUMMARY 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 ...

Genetics of Pathologic Myopia

2021
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.

Pathological High Myopia

2021
Pathological high myopia (PHM) can be defined as extreme myopia of more than −10 D with chorioretinal atrophy and posterior staphyloma. It presents its own set of problems:
