Posterior Segmant Pathologiesin Mypia pationts rather 5 Diopteres

Introduction: Pathologic myopia, as a leading cause of blindness, produces significant vitreoretinal degenerative changes. Knowing the extent of the problem in any region will help to stabilize appropriate preventive measures. Material and Methods: 100 eyes of 50 myopic patients (28 females and 22 males) with an average age of 27.14 years and myopia of-12 diopteres were examined in ophthalmology clinic, Emarn Reza General Hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sinences. Results: Observed in eighty-four percent of patients, Chorioretinal degenerative changes were the most common, followed by vitreoretinaal detachments (27%), decreased or lossed macular reflex (23%), posterior pole staphyloma (21%), temporac crescent (14%), vitreous syneresis (14%), Fuchʹs spots (7%), and Lacquer cracks (5%). There was a statistically significant correlation between retinal detachment and age, posterior pole staphyloma and age, posterior pole staphyloma and severity of myopia, and poor macular reflex and severity of myopia (all p<0.05). Conclusion: The study demonstrated a wide range of posterior segment pathologies in our patients. The results are comparable to that of previous studies elsewhere. It insists once more the importance of educating the patients about proper protective measures.
