Prevalence and characteristics of peripheral myopic retinopathy in Guangzhou office workers.

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to investigate how common peripheral myopic retinopathy is among office workers in Guangzhou and to identify its characteristics.
  • Involving 1910 eyes from 955 participants, significant findings revealed that a majority (69.6%) were myopic, with those affected showing poorer vision and longer axial lengths compared to non-myopic individuals.
  • The results highlighted a strong correlation between myopia severity and retinal changes, indicating that higher levels of myopia and longer eye dimensions are linked to increased risks of peripheral retinal issues.

Article Abstract

Aim: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of peripheral myopic retinopathy among a sample of Guangzhou office workers.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of Guangzhou Chinese office works in different departments and units of the Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau, China, in 2016. Myopic retinopathy was recorded and analyzed with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and by slit-lamp microscopy combined with a three-mirror contact lens.

Results: In total, 1910 eyes of 955 subjects (508 females and 447 males) aged 21-59y were included; 69.6% of these eyes were myopic. The myopia group had a younger age and worse uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) when compared with hyperopia and emmetropia groups (<0.001). The axial length (AL) was significantly longer, the spherical equivalent (SE) was more serious, and the optic nerve crescent was significantly larger in subjects with myopia than with hyperopia and emmetropia. Subjects with myopia, and especially high myopia, had the highest frequency of myopic retinal 18 changes (49.4%, <0.001) [white-without-pressure (43.8%, <0.001), lattice degeneration (4.5%, =0.044)] among the three groups. Logistic regression confirmed that any myopia (OR: 3.41, <0.001) [mild myopia (OR: 1.93, =0.001), moderate myopia (OR:3.64, <0.001), and high myopia (OR:10.58, <0.001)], a greater AL (OR: 1.55, <0.001) and a much higher SE (OR: 0.77, <0.001) increased the risk for peripheral retinal changes.

Conclusion: Myopia-related retinal changes are positively associated with greater AL, higher SE, and myopia.
