Lattice degeneration was the most common (43.39%) lesion predisposing to RD, majority seen in superotemporal quadrant (63.04%). Myopic choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) was seen in 4.71% eyes. Fifty-two percent eyes had some vitreous degeneration. Nearly 39.62% eyes had best-corrected visual acuity in the range of 6/18–6/36. About 43.39% eyes had refraction value in the range of −6 to −10 D and 70.75% eyes had axial length between 26 and 30 mm. Eighteen percent had positive family history, and in 89%, the presentation was bilateral. Results: Incidence of high myopia was maximum in 21–30 years (36%).
The data were entered into Microsoft Excel sheet for statistical analysis. Patients having myopic maculopathy underwent optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein angiography and were treated appropriately. After history and examination, axial length was measured using A-scan biometry. Materials and Methodology: In this cross-sectional observational study, we have studied 106 eyes of 56 patients. Introduction: Pathological myopia (PM) is defined as a refractive error ≥(−6) D or an axial length >26 mm causing complications such as early nuclear sclerosis, zonular dehiscence, macular hole, lacquer cracks, Forster-Fuchs spots, myopic traction maculopathy, macular choroidal neovascularization, and peripheral degenerations predisposing to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
