AI Article Synopsis
- The case describes a young child who quickly developed severe myopia, going from mild hyperopia to high myopia within 9 months, indicating a potential underlying issue.
- The rapid vision change was linked to Loeys-Dietz syndrome, a genetic condition, as genetic tests showed that her brothers and father had the same genetic variant.
- This case emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider potential systemic health conditions when a child presents with significant myopia.
Article Abstract
We present the first case of rapid onset high myopia in early childhood as the presenting feature of Loeys-Dietz syndrome. The patient progressed from a normal degree of hyperopia (+2 diopter sphere [DS]) at 18 months of age to high myopia (-10 DS) 9 months later. Subsequent genetic testing revealed both her brothers and her father to carry the same TGFB3 pathogenic variant. This case aims to highlight the importance of considering systemic conditions in children with high myopia.

Purpose: Treatment of myopia has been informed by more than 3 decades of clinical trials and other observations. However, controversies regarding myopia control remain, such as when to stop treatment and what is the long-term efficacy of treatment. This perspective aims to describe clinically relevant and current controversies regarding myopia treatment.

Purpose: Utilizing Swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) investigates the changes in the vascular characteristics of the choriocapillaris and larger vascular layers, including Sattler's and Haller's layers, in the macular region of young myopia patients, in order to to Enhance our comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of the pathogenesis of myopia.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 103 young adults (154 eyes) that underwent SS-OCTA. Axial lengths (AL) were measured, 64 eyes with AL < 26.

Introduction: Implantable collamer lens (ICL) is a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens. It is usually indicated for high refractive error correction that cannot be treated by laser vision correction due to physical limitations.
Case Presentation: 39 years old male with a past ocular history of keratoconus underwent astigmatic keratotomy followed by crosslinking in both eyes a couple of years later due to signs of corneal ectasia progression.
Purpose: To evaluate a new regression-derived nomogram for high myopic astigmatism in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery.
Methods: In this prospective study, data from 180 eyes with myopic astigmatism ranging from -2.50 to -4.
