Treatment
Definetion


Myopia ( short sight ) condition where parallel rays come to
focus in front of the sentient layer of retina when
accommodation is at rest



Muopia (Greek) = To close the eye
History


Kepler (1611), Plempius (1632) - lengthening of posterior part.



Donders (1866) est.. Pathological basis, and detail clinical
manifestation's
Etiology


Axial : most commonest




1mm = 3D

Curvatural : cornea thickness


causes astigmatism



1mm = 6D



eg : ectasies


conical cornea


lenticular curvature



eg : ant/post lenticonus – marked



Positional : dislocation of lens



Myopia due to excessive accommodation - spasm of
accommodation,
suspensory lig. Rupture


Index myopia : change in the R.I of the crystalline lens
eg : Nuclear Sclerosis,

Incipient Cataract,
Diabetes.


Buphthalmos : cong/ infantile glaucoma.

Defective development – A.P diameter
myopia not in ratio

enlarged and
Optics


Optical system – eye too powerful for axial length



Image of distant object on retina are circles of
diffusion form by divergent beam



Far point is finite pt in front of eye – object at far pt
focused without acc.



Angle of alpha –ve resulting in convergent squint


Accommodation- uncorrected- not
developed , as not needed for Nv.
Thus may develop exophoria,
convergence insufficiency and
presbyopia



Enlarged image is cause of nodal pt being far
away from retina
Classification

Simple (or)
Developmental
myopia
Pathological (or)
Degenerative myopia

Acquired myopia
Congenital myopia


Cornea – large; A.C – deep; pupil – large, sluggish



Refractive error – by -4D/yr up to 20-30yrs


Fundus –


Generalized atrophy of choroid and retinae



Loss of RPE- fundus tugroid- prominent choroidal vessels



Choroid disappears – visible sclera – atrophic patch - post. Pole –
macula (common)



Foster – Fuchs's spots – rare, sudden, dark pig.
sub-retinal neovascularization and choroidal hx.



Cystoid degeneration at periphery


Advance cases – total retinal atrophy, central



Lattice degeneration/ snail track lesion


Optic disc


Myopic crescent – from elongation of disc

separation of retina and choroid from temp
may be annular


Super traction crescent – nasal retina extending over the disc –
blur margin



Posterior staphyloma – higher degree,

herniation of post. Pole – sudden kinking of vessels at margin as in
glaucoma


Vitreous – degeneration, PVD-Wiess reflex, liquefaction, opacities



Visual field – ring scotoma



Electo-retinograph – chorioretinol atrophy



Complications


retinal tears, detachment, Hx (high myopia)



vitreous detachment, degeneration



complicated cataract –↓ lenticular metabolism



Nuclear sclerosis – common, effects refraction



Choroidal Hx – sever Vn loss if in fovea



POAG – not common but seen
acquired

index – nuclear sclerosis, incipient cataract, diabetic myopia

Curvatural – true inc. in corneal curvature (or) lenticular

Positional – subluxation(ant) of lens

Consecutive – surgical overcorrection(cataract/ hypermetropia)

Pseudo-myopia – due to excessive accommodation and spasm of
accommodation
Space myopia – no stimulus for Nv, its variable, trouble in flying and in fog

Night/twilight – shift from photic to scotopic vn is associated with inc. sensitivity to
shorter wavelength viz myopic
Cholinergic – pilocarpine, echothiosulphate

Drug induced -

Steroid – show changes in crystalline lens
Sulplanamides – changes the refractive indices in media
Diagnosis
presentation

Simple – blurred Dv, constant/ transient, Nv
may be normal, co-existing condt.
Nocturnal – blurred Dv in dim illumination,
difficulty in driving
Pseudo myopia – transient Dv blur, inc after
near work
Degenerative - considerable Dv blur,
flashes/ floaters, Vn loss
Induced – transient Dv blur until drug effect,
pupils constricted – cholinergic antagonist
Ocular
examination

Visual acuity – both unaided Nv and Dv should
be measured-mean gives reduced V.A

Refraction – retinoscopy or and A.R. , but A.R
not qualitative
retinoscopy – diagnosis for nocturnal myopia
with cyclopegics
Ocular motility, binocular Vn, accommodation
– heterophoria, versions, accommodative

0.5.1.0mm more

Laser should be coaxial with
pupil

Prevent extreme drying or
wetting of cornea and residual
islands

Hand held ring for centration

Combination – Incisional & Ablative
Procedure
 LASIK





- Laser In Situ Keratomileusis

Microkeratome to make a corneal flap – excimer to ablate the
refractive error
adv – bilateral, PRK healing risks avoided, stable results
Dis-adv – flap related, striae, diffuse lamellar keratitis, under (or)
over correction

Combination – Incisional & Ablative Procedure  LASIK    - Laser In Situ Keratomileusis Microkeratome to make a corneal flap – excimer to ablate the refractive error adv – bilateral, PRK healing risks avoided, stable results Dis-adv – flap related, striae, diffuse lamellar keratitis, under (or) over correction
  • 38.  LASEK – LASER Epithelial Keratomileusis  Similar to PRK – epithelium is removed and replace post Sx  Alcohol to store the epithelium  For large pupils and thin corneas  For > -8.00 D  Adv – no risk of flap dislocation (LASIK)  Thin flap  Less chance of ectasia  Dis- adv – visual recovery slower than LASIK
  • 39.  Epi LASIK   Cleaves epi from bowmen's – structural integrity maintained   Newer version of LASEK- advantage on LASIK More thin flap, less haze, faster recovery Custom LASIK  Customized for each eye  Less halos and glare, More chance of 6/6  Wave front aberrometer - corneal topography  Ablation – flexible laser system
  • 40. Intra ocular refractive Sx  Refractive lens exchange  Existing cataract and cornea unfit for refractive Sx  For -16.00D to -30.00D  PCO reduced  Accommodation retained thrgh ‘hinges’
  • 41.  Phakic IOLs  Patients not qualified for refractive Sx  Ant / Post chamber lens with out removing crystalline lens  Made of plastic (or) silicone
