Pathological myopia considered an ocular disease in which several complications are · associated with the elongation of the eye Grosvenor (1987): Classification based on age of onset and age-related prevalence Makes no assumptions about the etiology of the various categories of myopia 1. Congenital myopia: persists throughout infancy and is present when entering school. 2% prevalence. 2. Youth-onset myopia: onset about 6 y/o through teenage years. Prevalence is 2% at age 6 to about 20% at age 20. Many are low myopes that will become emmetropes or hyperopes in later years. 3. Early Adult-onset myopia: onset during the period of 20-40 y/o with a prevalence of 30%. Many will have small amounts of myopia and may become emmetropes or hyperopes later in life. 4.

Adult acceleration: rate of progression accelerated after adolescence. o Increase I power (steepening) of the anterior surface of the cornea is the responsible for young myopia progression o Presbyopia year: most hyperopic and emmetropic eyes undergo hyperopic shifts during presbyopic years. - Small or moderate myopes will observe a decrease in myopia. o Children who are highly myopic during teenage years tend to progress at a much higher rate. - If it is asymmetrical, the eye with higher myopia may develop amblyopia in that eye. What causes myopia? Etiological factors: o Multifactorial or polygenic: cannot be traced to a single gene or strictly environmental. (Identical twins have similar refractive error, Runs in family,As a result of excessive near work) o Donders (1864): caused by prolonged tension on the eyes during close work and elongation of the axes. o Sato (1957): ciliary spasm and lens- caused by accommodative spasm, followed by hypertrophy of ciliary muscle. o Accommodation, IOP, and axial elongation. (Strenstroms and Sorsby determine there was an increase in axial length) o Proposed - Prolonged near work causes an increase in IOP followed by expansion of the vitreous chamber Experiments with implanted radiosonde transducers have measured vitreous chamber pressure changes - Accommodation causes a blockage of the flow of aqueous humor due to sphincter muscle pulling forward on the anterior vitreous - OP increase when fixating an object at 20cm o AM: it has been found high IOP in myopic subjects in the morning o Temperature: high body temperature 41C ̊ to 45C ̊ can cause scleral stretch (animals) Von Alphen: ciliary body and the choroid form an elastic envelope that limits the stretch of the sclera, counteracting a part of the IOP. o Macula supplies information about the focus to the brain, that feeds information to EdingerWestphal nuclear (EWN) concerning the degree of stretch necessary to maintain emmetropia. If mechanism fail, there will be inadequate tonus of the ciliary- choroid envelope allowing the eye to stretch, causing myopia. High Myopia o High myopia is defined as refractive error of at least -6.00D or an axial length ≥26.5mm. o Myopic eyes are at increased risk for occurrences of ocular morbidity in later years including: Chorioretinal degeneration, Retinal detachment, Glaucoma, Cataracts o Greene (1980): the total stress of the posterior sclera caused by IOP and oblique muscles, accounts for posterior staphyloma. o Corneal radius is also involved in myopia. In myopes older than 18 with myopia progression, there is also corneal steepening. effect = Happense -sa High CORON e aa location myops not allhigh ic Pathologic or degenerative myopia: High myopia with any posterior myopia-specific pathology from axial elongation. 1.

Prevalence of pathologic myopia-related visual impairment is: - From 0.1% to 0.5% in European studies - From 0.2% to 1.4% in Asian studies Pathologic Myopia Etiology: o Biomechanical forces related to axial elongation resulting in stretching of the ocular layers and progressive thinning of the retina, choroid and sclera. Risk factors: o Primary risk factor: greater axial length and age. Indicator o Additional risk factors: Female gender, Larger optic disc area, FOH of myopia Pathologic changes in myopic eyes Indicators of a posterior staphyloma: Optic nerve crescents, Myopic cupping (ONH), Peripapillary detachment, Disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium, Chorioretinal degeneration, Retinal detachment, Glaucoma, Cataracts, Ocular and systemic disease in highly myopic children EMartan's of staphylorea syndrome Anomalous Myopias In these the accommodation stimulus is insuOicient for the patient’s accommodative response slightly accommodating - Night myopia: presents in low visibility conditions due to the fact that there is not an adequate stimulus to accommodation. ↳ night driving Pupil dilation leads to spherical aberration - Empty field myopia: in photopic conditions in which there is not suOicient detail in the central accommodate at accommodate so visual field to provide stimulus of accommodation. (Pilots) Do not know where tocertain distance - Instrument myopia: accommodation is stimulated by instrument and response is not appropriate. (Microscopes) techsthat 3 & med ist biolog accomm c.ir. at a usloly stimulus Hyperopia work at glasses o Hyperopia prevalence during school years is 6% from age 6 to 15.Many can accommodate and overcome the low hyperopia until their amplitude of accommodation is lower and cannot compensate anymore. Usually goes undetected in screening tests. nopo Manifest Hyperopia see - Facultative: portion of the hyperopia that can be overcome 9compensated0 with g to 8 min accommodation latent 06 - Absolute: Part of the hyperopia that cannot be compensated with accommodation H 2 00 Ab3 + 00 Latent hyperopia: hypermetropia that reveals only under cyclopegia +2 Example: 5-year-old HF has an objective refraction of +3.00DS OD and OS. Subjective refraction is e +2.00DS OD and OS VA 20/20. Lastly cyclopegic refraction is +5.00DS OD and OS. le Excessive accommodative convergence: When you use excessive amounts of accommodation must be algo constantly used to obtain clear vision. This results in crossed in crossed eyes, esotropia. Even if esotropia does not occur, the eyestrain of prolonged near work in uncorrected hyperopia results in serious problems in children’s ability to read. Lobj-subt Lobj -cyclo fasultativa · cases.. Torait. When excessive amount of accommodation is required to compensate an uncorrected hyperopia, the visual system has 3 choices: 1. Let the letters be out of focus, impossible to read 2. One eye turns inward, reliving the eyestrain but causing double vision (diplopia). 3. Overconvergence: Single vision (SV) is maintained but with large amount of stress due to unconscious continuous overconvergence, avoiding double vision Indication for cyclopegic refraction o Children with constant or intermittent ET on 1st visit o Accommodative esotropias (eye inward) o Suspected or having latent hyperopia o Suspected pseudo-myopia o Uncooperative/non-communicative patients o Variable/inconsistent endpoints in subjective refraction o Children and young adults with asthenopia E CasoClinico I p and young patient with esophoria, accommodative insuOiciency , 8 o Children accommodative fatigue, accommodative inertia, spasm of accommodation 9 o All children younger than 3 y/o Hyperopia at 6 months: During the first 6 months of life an eye turns inward. After that it is most likely to happen due to high hyperopia or less common, paralysis of extraocular muscle or nerve. In this case if not corrected the eye will suppress and become amblyopic. Hyperopia Progression: o Hyperopics in early adulthood tend to become more hyperopic and also the emmetropic patient, but the changes are very slow with the years. o Age related hyperopia can be due to gradual decrease in the refractive error of the crystalline lens or maybe small decrease in the axial length. Uncorrected hyperopia and reading problems o Uncorrected hyperopic children have problems adjusting to school. (Slow readers, Worst in performing visual perception skill tests) o Unfortunately school and pediatrician’s screenings are directed toward myopes. Better vision screenings are needed Hyperopia can usually be detected by clinical refraction, thus most of the time there is no VA complaint How to detect possible hyperopes o During screening, while taking VA at distance, if the child was able to read the 20/20 line: o Introduce a trial lens of +1.00D and ask the child to read again the 20/20 line o If they cannot read it with +1.00D: passed screening If they can read it with +1.00D: failed screening It is very possible that they are hyperopes (can read the letters without the lens because they use accommodation to compensate for uncorrected hyperopia) Hyperopia Facts o Several states are making it a law to have a comprehensive eye examination before preschool born o InfantSEE program from AOA for babies lombthing o Also as eyecare professionals we need to be aware of when to at every prescribe back if o Study by Atkinson, determined if +3.50 or more is not corrected, they are at risk of developing ma strabismus or amblyopia. The correction will not alter the emmetropization of the eye Critical when to prescribe Astigmatism Types of astigmatism: Compound Myopic, Simple Myopic, Mixed, Simple hyperopic, Compound hyperopic o Children tend to have WTR astigmatism: According to a USA study 28.4% of children between the ages of 5 and 17 have astigmatism o Elderly tend to have ATR astigmatism check childre orge & Alsoarat Studies: Northeastern Brazil: 34% of students were astigmatic Bangladesh: 32.4% of adults older than 30 years old had astigmatism en el Manual Keratometry you,, when Keratometry: - Evaluates the curvature, power and toricity of the cornea film suspect tear in ret - Assess the integrity of the cornea and tear surface - Helps speed up retinoscopy and subjective refraction Provides axis and power of astigmatism - Helps with keratoconus diagnosis by providing obvious signs Mire distortion, irregular form of mires - Provides proper assessment for CL evaluations Astigmatism - Anterior Corneal Astigmatism: measured by the keratometer - Refractive (total) Astigmatism: measured by retinoscopy and/or subjective refraction - Corneal and refractive astigmatism may not coincide due to: o Physiologic lenticular astigmatism (Usually ATR and varies with age) o ELectivity changes: ~ 25% increase in astigmatism going from the corneal plane to the spectacle plane o Corneal posterior surface curvature Basic components of a keratometer: Adjustable eyepiece, Adjustable chin rest and forehead support, Knob to raise and lower the instrument and align the patient's eye, Two power wheels to measure corneal power in each principal meridian, Axis scale of the 2 meridians, Mires (target) that are reflected in the cornea, Focus knob or joystick to focus mires on patient’s cornea Correa , ↳ Keratometer: The design of the keratometer provides a measurement of the size of the reflected image and leads to the determination of the radius of curvature of the anterior corneal surface. - Taking the refractive index of the cornea into account, the radius of curvature is converted to the dioptric power of the cornea, which is the number indicated on the side of the dial. - Keratometers can measure corneal curvature between 36.00D and 52.00D - Auxiliary lenses have to be added to measure anything above 52.00D or below 36.00D o Keratoconus, Cornea plana or LASIK myopic pts ↳ Congenital Keratometry Limitations: - Only measures a small region of the cornea (3-4mm zone) - Assumes the cornea is symmetric with a major and minor axis separated by 90 degrees - Ignores spherical aberrations - Is susceptible to focusing and misalignment errors - Mire distortion prevents accurate measurement of irregular corneas Keratometry Set Up: - Disinfect the instrument o Chin rest and forehead rest - Focus eyepiece o Reticule in focus o Incorrect focusing can produce significant error - Adjust the patient - Turn on and unlock Procedure: - Align the barrel with the patient’s eye (lateral canthus with mark) until you see the reflection of the mires in the patient's cornea. - Ask the patient to look at their own eye - If you cannot find the patient’s eye you can use a penlight to help guide you - Focus the mires and adjust the instrument - Focus the crosshair in the center of the lower hand circle - Using the focusing knob, bring the bottom circle into focus as a single image - Locate the principal meridians o Make the “plus” signs parallel by rotating the instrument and then overlap them with the horizontal meridian wheel o Align the “minus” signs with the vertical meridian wheel o Keep one hand on the focusing knob - Adjust and re-center as necessary during the procedure - Observe corneal integrity by observing the conditions of the mires (Patients with dry eyes will need to blink or use artificial tears before the procedure) - After evaluating OD proceed with OS - If irregular astigmatism is present the 2 principal meridians will not be 90 degrees apart. (In this case first do the horizontal meridian, readjust the barrel and then do the vertical) 36 52 Recording - Record each eye separately - Flatter K’s/ Steeper K’s - 44.12@180/45.25@090 (Always record to 2 decimal points) - Also include the amount of corneal astigmatism in diopters with the axis o CC: -1.13x180 soval - Record the condition of the mires: (Clear or distorted) Shape - Can also include if astigmatism is ATR, WTR, OBL or irregular Astigmatism - Regular Astigmatism: principal meridians are perpendicular (90 degrees away) o With-the-rule (WTR): more power (greatest curvature) in the vertical meridian and horizontal meridian is flatter. Ex:43.25@180/45.00@090 - Against-the-rule (ATR): more power (greatest curvature) in the horizontal meridian and vertical meridian is flatter. Ex:42.50@115/44.87@025 - Oblique: principal meridians lie between 30-60 degrees and 120-150 degrees - Irregular Astigmatism: principal meridians are not perpendicular toeach other. o Produce distorted mires Troubleshooting - Unable to locate keratometric mires: instrument and/or patient are not aligned properly. - Mire clarity is transient: measure quickly after allowing the patient to blink. - Mire focus is transient: ensure the patient’s forehead is secure against the headrest. - Patient gaze is unsteady: ensure that fellow eye is occluded. - H&V mires cannot be measured concurrently: patient may have irregular astigmatism. - Only 1 plus sign is visible: patient’s eyelid is drooping, have them open wide. - Only 1 minus sign is visible: the occluder is in the way. Extended ranges - If the power in a meridian falls outside the power range of the keratometer, lenses can be used to extend the range. - Tape or hold loose lenses over the opening of the keratometer barrel and perform the measurement as described before. o +1.25D loose lens: to increase the diopter range o -1.00D loose lens: to decrease the diopter range - Then multiply the K reading by the corresponding correction factor. Increasing Range - Either you add +9.00D with the +1.25D lens to the K reading or -6.00D with the -1.00D lens to the K reading OR Multiply the K reading by the correction factor Increasing Range Examples - K’s are over 52.00D o Add a +1.25D lens in front of the barrel o New K drum reading is 49.00D o True K value: 49.00 x 1.166 = 57.13D or 49 + 9= 58.00D - K’s are less than 36.00D o Add a -1.00D lens in front of the barrel o New K drum reading is 38.00D o True K value: 38.00 x 0.8576= 32.59D or 38 – 6= 32.00D Expected - The 2 principal meridians are expected to be 90 degrees apart (If not, it is irregular astigmatism) - Average K readings are between 43.00 to 44.00 - Reminders for recording: o Eye: reading flat@meridian/steep@meridian; quality of mires; corneal cylinder (cc) with axis o Diopters: 0.125 steps (each line in the dial) o Axis of the corneal astigmatism is from the flattest meridian Recording Examples - Mires can be recorded as: Clear And Regular (MCAR), irregular and distorted, or egg shaped. o OD: 42.50@180/43.00@090 MCAR CC -0.50x180 o OS: 41.00@170/43.00@010 MCAR CC -2.00x170 o OD: 42.50@180/43.50@090 MCAR, 1.00D WTR o OS: 41.37@180/47.37@090 distorted mires, 6.00 AR o OD: 43.13@060/44.00@150 distorted; -0.87x060 o OS: 47.37@180/41.37@090 egg shaped mires; -6.00x180 ego 5441 4 Javal’s Rule - It is an empirical determination of the relationship between corneal astigmatism and refractive astigmatism. - Total refractive astigmatism = 1.25 (CC) ± 0.50 axis 090 o Add or subtract 0.50 cyl according to the axis § If CC axis is ATR astigmatism will be higher = subtract § If CC axis is WTR astigmatism will be lower = add Simplified Form of Javal’s Rule - By Grosvenor et al - Refractive astigmatism = (Keratometric astigmatism) –/+ 0.50x090 o Add or subtract 0.50 cyl according to the axis § If CC axis is ATR astigmatism will be higher = subtract § If CC axis is WTR astigmatism will be lower = add
