The progress pattern and natural courses of myopic macularpathy / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

Myopic macularpathy is the main cause of the decline of visual function in high myopia,which including tigroid fundus,lacquer cracks,diffuse retinal choroid atrophy,plaque retinal choroid atrophy,choroidal neovascularization (CNV),Fuchs spot and posterior staphyloma.The tigroid fundus is the initial myopic retinopathy.The lacquer cracks is a special lesion in the posterior pole of high myopia.When the lacquer cracksen enlarge or lacquer cracks progress to plaque retinal choroid atrophy should be paid to monitoring the occurrence of CNV.Myopic macularpathy progression include two mode.One is from tigroid fundus——lacquer cracks——plaque retinal choroid atrophy——CNV to macular atrophy.And the other is from tigroid fundus——diffuse retinal choroid atrophy——atrophy enlarge to diffuse retinal choroid atrophy with plaque retinal choroid atrophy or plaque retinal choroid atrophy occurence on the border of posterior staphyloma.Understanding the progression patterns and natural course of these lesions will help the clinic to further understand the course of high myoipa.
