Abstract
Myopia is the most common eye disease in the world which is caused by a mismatch between the optical power of the eye and its excessive axial length. Scleral remodeling, oxidative stress, inflammation, pathological states of angiogenesis and fibrosis and metabolism are closely associated with the onset and progression of myopia and the pathological changes that may ultimately result. Intraocular fluid is a collective term for the fluid within the eye, and changes in its composition can reflect the physiological and pathological status within the eye, with aqueous humor and vitreous being the commonly tested specimens. Recent studies have revealed potential changes in a variety of molecules in intraocular fluid during myopia progression. Abnormal expression of these molecules may reflect different stages of myopia and provide new perspectives for disease monitoring and treatment. Therefore, in this review, we systematically review the molecular changes in intraocular fluid associated with myopia, as well as the possible mechanisms, with a view to informing basic myopia research and clinical work.
