Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the presence and characteristics of peripheral drusen-like deposits (DLDs) in patients with pathological myopia using advanced imaging techniques.
- A total of 676 patients (1352 eyes) were reviewed, revealing that 4.9% of eyes had DLDs, primarily in older patients, with some cases linked to myopic macular neovascularization.
- The research indicates that these findings could inform the understanding of how peripheral retinal changes evolve in cases of pathological myopia.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how common multifocal choroiditis/punctate inner choroidopathy (MFC/PIC) is in patients with patchy atrophy due to pathologic myopia, analyzing 500 eyes from 253 patients between 2014 and 2020.
- - Results showed that 11% of the examined eyes exhibited signs of active MFC/PIC via optical coherence tomography, with notable features including specific retinal changes and a significant association with macular neovascularization.
- - The findings suggest that while only a small percentage of eyes with pathologic myopia exhibited active MFC/PIC lesions, these lesions may lead to further complications, like macular neovascularization, and can occur before
