Background And Objective: To develop an automatic parapapillary atrophy (PPA) detection algorithm in retinal fundus images and discuss the association between PPA and myopia to facilitate diagnosis and prediction of children myopia.
Methods: The proposed algorithm consists of PPA identification and segmentation, which are evaluated by comparing with ophthalmologist's annotation. The association between PPA parameters and myopia is analyzed via Spearman correlation.
Results: The accuracy of PPA identification reaches 90.78%. The F1-score of PPA segmentation is 0.67, and the Pearson correlation between the automatic measurement and ground truths for the area of PPA (A), the ratio (μ) of A to the area of optic disc (OD) and the maximal width of PPA (W) are 0.74, 0.60, and 0.69 (all p < 0.001). All these parameter changes are significantly correlated with the change of ratio of axial length to corneal curvature (ΔALCC), spherical equivalent (ΔSE), and axial length (ΔAL) (all p < 0.01), in which the highest association is 0.75 between ΔW (the change of W) and ΔALCC.
Conclusions: The proposed algorithm can provide accurate PPA measurement. Strong association between the changes of PPA and the progress of children myopia are observed and the width of PPA has the best association among three PPA parameters.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between peripapillary atrophy (PPA) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes using advanced imaging techniques.
- Participants were categorized based on PPA types and evaluated for DR severity, revealing that specific features of PPA, particularly the gamma zone, may correlate with lower DR grades.
- The findings suggest that the gamma zone PPA might indicate resilience against DR through potential changes in the eye's structure due to conditions like myopia.

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Cologne, University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, Germany.
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.

Prcis: A large disk, a large parapapillary delta zone and a long axial length may be used as screening criteria to detect glaucomatous optic neuropathy in highly myopic eyes.
Purpose: To describe aspects for screening of glaucomatous optic neuropathy in dependence of refractive error, under special consideration of high myopia.
Methods/results: Studies on the anatomy of the myopic optic nerve head and results of investigations on the relationship between glaucomatous optic neuropathy and axial myopia were included.
