Assessment of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, pupillary reaction and dilated fundus exam are essential. A thorough macular examination and peripheral depressed examination are key to detecting complications related to pathologic myopia.

Pathological Myopia (PM) is an ocular condition that can lead to severe visual problems. Early diagnosis and classification of PM are crucial. In this study, we utilized the ResNet101 deep learning model to classify PM in retinal fundus images.

In high myopic eyes, pathologic myopia, also known as "myopic macular degeneration", "myopic maculopathy", or "degenerative myopia" can occur, which can lead to visual acuity (VA) decline. Pathologic myopia affects 1-3% of the general population (1) and has been one of the major causes of low vision and blindness worldwide.

Pathologic myopia causes vision impairment or blindness in 0.2% to 1.5% of Asians and 0.1% to 0.5% of Caucasians. 8 Particularly, it is one of the major causes of low vision in working-aged populations, as well as in the elderly population. In Asia, pathologic myopia is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in Taiwan, Japan, and China.

2023年5月13日 · Pathologic myopia (PM) is a common blinding retinal degeneration suffered by highly myopic population. Early screening of this condition can reduce the damage caused by the associated fundus lesions and therefore prevent vision loss.

Myopic crescent, temporal displacement of disc and posterior staphyloma are most common fundus findings in pathological myopes. Key words: Pathological myopia, Visual acuity, Color vision, Contrast sensitivity, Visual field, glare.

New classification schemes that improve identification and management of pathologic myopia have been developed. The META-PM classification system uses fundus photographs to identify various stages of myopic maculopathy (Appendix) and category 2 onwards, or presence of a “plus lesion” or posterior staphyloma is defined as pathologic myopia.

2021年8月16日 · In pathological myopia, certain myopia-specific pathologies occur at the eye’s posterior i.e., Foster-Fuchs’s spot, Cystoid degeneration, Liquefaction, Macular degeneration, Vitreous...

2019年10月10日 · Fundus complications due to pathologic myopia are a major cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide, especially in East Asian countries. The patients with pathologic myopia develop loss of the best-corrected vision due to various lesions occurring in the macula and the optic nerve.
