This review covers how well axial length relates to refraction and predicting future myopia, how to measure axial length, its value in orthokeratology and atropine management, how axial length influences a treatment plan and can you practice myopia management without it.
This study showed that adult high myopes with myopic macular degeneration (MMD) show reduced macular sensitivity as measured by microperimetry. That’s not unexpected; but the microperimetry changes occurred before BCVA changes in mild MMD – read more here.
Adult myopia progression is frequently encountered in practice, yet we have almost no evidence base to guide management. Here we explore how often and how much myopia progression occurs in adulthood, and management options.
HWN presented this case involving a 32-year-old woman whose myopia onset after having her first child and had progressed since.
