Myopia and age-related macular degeneration
Keywords:
age-related macular degeneration, myopia, myopic maculopathyAbstract
Myopic macular degeneration (myopic maculopathy) is a complex of potentially coexisting degenerative changes in the macular region associated with myopia, including atrophic (mosaic changes, focal and diffuse chorioretinal atrophy, mHNV-associated atrophy), traction (myopic traction maculopathy) and neovascular (mHNV and its outcomes) components. It is considered as the most serious, irreversible, vision-threatening complication and the leading cause of bilateral visual impairment and blindness due to myopia.
The aim of the work is to identify the relationship between structural and anatomical changes in the eyeball in age—related macular degeneration and moderate and high myopia, as well as to search for the relationship between different types of myopic staphylomas and changes in visual functions.
