Abstract
AIM: Study of peripheral retinal degeneration in relation to axial length of eyeball in myopic patient. METHOD: Study of 200 eyes of 100 patients who attended our hospital between 2010-2012.Detailed history was taken in every case. Inclusion criteria were patient with age group of 11years -70years, Patient with myopia. Exclusion criteria were patient with photopsia, history of trauma, diabetes hypertensive and undergone RD surgeries. Vision and refraction with Streak Retinoscopy was done. Axial length was recorded by A-scan biometry. Fundoscopy was done in all cases. RESULT: In our study number of males was 54 and females were 46. Peripheral chorioretinal lesions were noted to be associated with increased axial length of eye 1, 2 .Greater the antero-posterior ocular diameter the greater chance of peripheral chorioretinal degeneration 2 . CONCLUSION: Examination of periphery of retina is important in all myopic cases. Lattice degenerations are most common lesions1, 3. 60% of lesions are found in superotemporal quadrant. Tendency of bilaterality4 is noted in all degenerations except paving stone degeneration. Prevalence of lattice degeneration is maximum in axial length between 28-30mm 5 .
