ABSTRACT
We evaluated the long and middle terms results in a retrospective study of Posterior Scleral Reinforcement in progressive myopia. We discuss the inclusion criteria and the results in terms of refraction, visual acuity, axial length, intra-ocular pressure, complications and patient's subjective appreciation. The surgical procedure of Posterior Scleral Reinforcement stabilises the evolution of progressive myopia in time. A systemic prospective study is needed for more precisions on those first encouraging results.

Thirty-three patients who underwent low dose of radiation therapy for subfoveal choroidal membranes were studied after a mean follow-up of 16 months. The evaluated parameters were the visual outcome and the choroidal neovascularization evolution. In this study, the efficacy of low-dose radiation delivered to the macular region as an alternative treatment in subfoveal membrane was limited.
