Abstract

Pathologic myopia (greater than 6 D) is known to be associated with increased axial length and peripheral retinal changes. In order to study the frequency of peripheral retinal changes in eyes with pathological myopia and the possible influence of sex and age, we studied 513 eyes with axial length equal to or greater than 24 mm, measured with 8 MHZ T-20 standardized A-scan probe and immersion technique. Biomicroscopic examination of the periphery was performed in each eye, and the presence of the following lesions was reported: lattice degeneration, pavingstone degeneration, pigmentary degeneration, white with and without pressure, retinal holes and tears, posterior vitreous detachment, retinal detachment.
