What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the long-term evolution of clinical and imaging characteristics in patients suffering from pathological myopia. It will involve both retrospective and prospective evaluations, focusing on specific clinical, tomographic, and angiographic variables over a minimum follow-up period of five years. The study does not involve any drug interventions, allowing for a natural observation of the condition's progression.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with high myopia.
Not a fit: Patients with acute ischemic optic neuropathy, macular and peripapillary atrophy, or other forms of maculopathy may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term management and understanding of pathological myopia.
How similar studies have performed: While there may be other studies on myopia, this specific observational approach focusing on long-term outcomes is relatively novel.
