Background: To assess associations between mortality and major ocular parameters and diseases.
Methods: The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS) and Ural Very Old Study (UVOS) included 5899 individuals (age: 40+ years) and 1526 individuals (age: 85+ years), respectively. Cause-specific mortality was determined using the government regional information and analytical system.
Bruch´s membrane (BM) is firmly connected posteriorly to the optic nerve head through the peripapillary choroidal border tissue, and anteriorly through the longitudinal ciliary muscle to the scleral spur. We assessed, whether a difference in the contractile state of the ciliary muscle influences the position of the posterior BM by lifting the posterior BM pole, i.e.

Design: Population-based study and histomorphometric investigation.
Participants: Participants of the population-based Beijing Eye Study and enucleated human eyes.
Article Synopsis
- The review summarizes the clinical and anatomical aspects of myopia, highlighting the different stages of myopic maculopathy (MMP) and their association with retinal changes.
- Recent findings show that MMP stage-4 is linked to defects in Bruch's membrane and previous macular neovascularization, while stage-3 demonstrates differences based on the presence of these defects.
- Additionally, higher axial lengths in myopic eyes correlate with increased risks for vision loss and certain eye conditions, including open-angle glaucoma, emphasizing the complexity and implications of myopia in aging populations.
Prevalence and associations of dome-shaped maculas. The Beijing Eye Study.
Acta Ophthalmol
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the occurrence of dome-shaped maculas (DSMs) in a diverse population, focusing on those with different axial lengths of the eye.
- Out of 3468 participants, DSMs were found in 1.9% of examined eyes, with a notable increase in prevalence among highly myopic individuals (7.2%).
- Results suggest that longer axial lengths and more advanced myopic macular degeneration are linked to higher DSM prevalence and height, indicating potential underlying factors related to eye elongation and retinal health.
