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.
Introduction: Severe central visual field defects are frequently observed in highly myopic eyes. This report details 2 cases of central visual field defects in individuals with high myopia, characterized by an unusual temporal protrusion of the optic disc, a feature not previously documented.
Case Presentation: Two patients, a 54-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman, were diagnosed with high myopia in their left eyes, displaying an outward protrusion of the optic disc toward the macula.
The aim is to study the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects of additional administration of ripasudil in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients including high myopia (HM) and pathological myopia (PM). Study design is retrospective cohort study. We assessed the changes in the mean IOP between the HM eyes (axial length ≧ 26.

Methods: This study included 20 eyes with HM (axial length ≥ 26.5 mm) and OAG; age, preoperative IOP (intraocular pressure), and sex-matched 20 non-HM eyes (axial length < 26.
Background: To report a rare case of pathologic myopia in which a choroidal neovascularization (CNV) induced a hemorrhagic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD), and then both the CNV and MHRD disappeared simultaneously in 5 days.
Case Presentation: A 76-year-old man with pathologic myopia complained of distorted vision in his left eye of 1-week duration. The visual acuity in the left eye was 20/20 and the axial length was 31.
