The case of chorioretinal coloboma-induced retinal astigmatism and its implications for future developments in myopia management: Acommentary

Abstract

A recently reported case of a rare induced retinal astigmatism from a chorioretinal coloboma spurs additional commentary on the implications of future technology that directly measures retinal astigmatism via retinal topography. These implications include the application of such technology to myopia management and the opportunity to more effectively control progressive changes in retinal curvature throughout childhood with the application of custom corneal excimer laser ablations
