Imaging and check‐up for evolutive myopia

Abstract

AbstractMyopia is the most common ocular pathology with a major recent increasing in Asia and all over the world. This refractive anomaly has usually an onset during infancy. However, myopia is not only a refractive pathology but it may also lead to retinal complications. When myopia is diagnosed, a complete check‐up should be performed including VA, refraction under cycloplegia, orthoptic check‐up, optical axial length, fundus and if possible ultra‐wide field fundus and macular OCT. These examinations lead to propose the best‐adapted system for myopia control. The follow‐up of myopia include systematically VA, Refraction under cycloplegia and optical axial length. Practical cases will be described for a better understanding of myopia evolution in children.
