Abstract
The literature review substantiates the need to study the morphological changes in the lamina cribrosa in patients with myopia. The authors discuss the pathogenesis of axial myopia, namely, changes in the lamina cribrosa in pathological elongation of the anteroposterior axis of the eye. It is interesting to review the methods for the treatment and diagnosis of myopia, which remain extremely difficult tasks due to the lack of knowledge about most pathogenetic mechanisms of its development. The authors mention the commonly available and well-known spectra of treatment measures: conservative, surgical, laser methods of treatment and diagnosis of myopia, as well as modern drug regimens to control the progression of myopic changes. To date, there are quite a few studies on changes in the lamina cribrosa in glaucoma. However, research on the parameters of lamina cribrosa changes in myopia is rare in scientific literature. A modern approach to the diagnosis of changes in the lamina cribrosa will help clarify the mechanisms of visual impairment in these patients and will serve as the basis for the development of methods for the prevention and treatment of blindness in people suffering from myopia.
