Myopic degeneration
DESCRIPTION Short-sightedness, or myopia, is a vision problem resulting from excessively long growth of the eye-ball, or a steeply curved cornea. Myopia up to 3.0 dioptres (D) is termed mild degree, 3.0 to 6.0D is moderate degree and high degree is 6.0D and over. A dioptre is a measurement of the focusing power of a lens.

Most commonly, myopia will stabilize when the growth process has been completed and will result in normal sight after correction with glasses, for example.
High degree myopia (sometimes known as pathological myopia or degenerative myopia) is a chronic, degenerative condition which can create problems because of its association with degenerative changes at the back of the eye.
Myopic degeneration is an uncommon condition characterized by progressive stretching of the eye that damages the retina, the layer of light-sensitive cells that lines the back of the eye. People with severe nearsightedness (high myopia) are at greater risk for myopic degeneration.
Myopic degeneration commonly occurs during young adulthood with a gradual decrease in central vision. Vision can decrease more abruptly, but typically vision loss is gradual. Although central vision may be lost, side (peripheral) vision usually remains unaffected. Remaining sight can still be very useful and with the help of low-vision optical devices, people can continue many of their normal activities.
The causes of myopic degeneration are not clearly understood but may include biomechanical abnormalities or hereditary factors. The biomechanical theory assumes that the retina, in a myopic eye, is stretched over a larger than normal area because the eye is longer than usual. Over time, the outer coat of the eye, known as the sclera, also stretches in response to forces like internal eye pressure. This stretching of the sclera is thought to lead to retinal degeneration. In the hereditary theory, the retinal changes are thought to be an unavoidable, inherited process.
SYNONYMS
  • Degenerative myopia
  • High degree myopia
  • High myopia
  • Severe nearsightedness
  • Progressive myopia
  • Pathological myopia
SYMPTOMS

Patients with degenerative myopia typically complain of decreased vision, headaches, and sensitivity to light. If retinal degeneration or detachment is present, patients may also report light flashes and floaters, which are associated with retina changes. Those with degenerative myopia have an increased incidence of cataract formation (nuclear cataracts are most typical).

Some of the most typical features of degenerative myopia are:
  • Vitreous liquefaction and posterior vitreous detachment
  • Peripapillary atrophy appearing as temporal choroidal or scleral crescents or rings around the optic disc
  • Lattice degeneration in the peripheral retina
  • Tilting or malinsertion of the optic disc, usually associated with myopic conus
  • Thinning of the retinal pigment epithelium with resulting atrophic appearance of the fundus
  • Ectasia of the sclera posteriorly (posterior staphyloma)
  • Breaks in Bruch's membrane and choriocapillaris, resulting in lines across the fundus called "lacquer cracks"
  • Fuchs' spot in the macular area.
A diagnosis of degenerative myopia depends on the presence of chorioretinal degeneration or lacquer cracks.
