Abstract

Myopia is the leading cause of visual impairment and its prevalence continues to increase significantly. Pathological myopia affects 1-3% of the general population and is one of the main causes of low vision and blindness worldwide. Myopic vitreopathy associated with pathological myopia essentially represents fibrous vitreous liquefaction, resulting from both hereditary and degenerative processes. In addition, myopic retinopathy, in which axial elongation plays an important role in pathogenesis, has many unique pathologies. In this review, changes in the vitreous and retina in patients with pathological myopia are discussed.
