Scleral support surgery for pathologic myopia.
Pathologic myopia is the seventh leading cause of blindness in the US and two percent of Americans have the disease; Canadian statistics are not available. Pathologic myopia involves elongation of the eyeball and scleral support surgery aims to control the progression of this elongation. The most commonly used technique involves placing a strip of sclera from a donor eye around the eyeball to p...
متن کاملPosterior Scleral Thinning Accompanies Increased Vitreous Chamber Depth in Myopia
© 2016 Journal of ophthalmic and Vision research | published by Wolters KluWer medKnoW Sir, We read with great interest the article titled “Association between refractive errors and ocular biometry in Iranian adults” by Hashemi et al[1] The authors aimed to evaluate the association between refractive errors and ocular biometry. We appreciate their valuable study and would like to make a comment...
متن کاملAmphiregulin Antibody and Reduction of Axial Elongation in Experimental Myopia
To examine the mechanism of ocular axial elongation in myopia, guinea pigs (age: 2-3weeks) which either underwent unilateral or bilateral lens-induced myopization (group 1) or which were primarily myopic at baseline (group 2) received unilateral intraocular injections of amphiregulin antibody (doses: 5, 10, or 15μg) three times in intervals of 9days. A third group of emmetropic guinea pigs got ...
متن کاملInfluence of overnight orthokeratology on axial elongation in childhood myopia.
PURPOSE This prospective study was conducted to assess the influence of overnight orthokeratology (OK) on axial elongation in children, with those wearing spectacles as controls. METHODS One hundred five subjects (210 eyes) were enrolled in the study. The OK group comprised 45 patients (90 eyes, age 12.1 ± 2.5 years, mean ± SD; OK group) who matched the inclusion criteria for OK. The control ...
متن کاملInduced myopia associated with increased scleral creep in chick and tree shrew eyes.
PURPOSE To investigate the role of scleral creep in the axial elongation of chick and tree shrew eyes with induced myopia. METHODS Form-deprivation myopia was induced with a diffusing occluder worn over one eye. Scleral samples from the posterior pole and equatorial regions of myopic, contralateral (control), and age-matched normal chick and tree shrew eyes were loaded in vitro with a force o...
