WAILEA, Hawaii — The intersection of myopia and glaucoma creates a challenge for ophthalmologists, according to Angelo P. Tanna, MD, at Hawaiian Eye 2018.“In patients who have high myopia, the ...

The natural course of high-axial myopia is variable and the development of pathologic myopia is not fully understood. Advancements in optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology have revealed ...

Myopia is the most common eye disorder, ... Moreover, multimodal imaging revealed increased axial length in comparison to the unaffected eye and unique bowing of the sclera in the posterior pole.

Vertical and horizontal relative peripheral refraction (RPR) are associated with faster axial length progression and higher risk of incident myopia, according to a study published online June 16 in ...

Researchers link early cone dysfunction in RPGR-related retinal dystrophy to high myopia, with timing of degeneration ...

Myopia that results from longer axial length and greater depth of the front eye chamber might be particularly protective against diabetic retinopathy and result in reduced risk for the eye disease ...

MiSight® 1 day contact lenses designed for myopia control have been shown to reduce the rate of axial elongation in children (aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment*) by 52% on average over a ...

Axial elongation, a key marker of myopia severity, was 0.67 mm with HAL lenses versus 1.40 mm in the control group. This is among the first studies to robustly demonstrate the long-term efficacy ...

The versatile, all-in-one Aladdin-M provides the critical tools needed to support myopia management while also incorporating features for keratoconus screening and contact lens fitting.

Children with myopia receiving 0.05% atropine showed less progression of the eye condition and axial elongation than those receiving placebo, according to 3-year results of the MOSAIC trial.

At the single nucleotide level, variants in SLC 7 A 14 (rs36006402) and CLUAP1 (rs2285814) were found to significantly influence axial growth, underscoring the retina's sensory role in guiding ...
