Presentation
Results A 33-year-old female patient, from Salvador (BA)–Brazil, arrived at the Ophthalmology center of the São Rafael Hospital presenting visual impairment in 2011. [medical-clinical-reviews.imedpub.com]
However, some short-sighted eyes present an identical to that of normalsighted eyes axial length, see sometimes lower! [gatinel.com]
In the present material, about half of the cases were stable (within range 0.5 D) in adulthood after age 20–24, but in 45% of the cases, myopic progression continued. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
These findings, together with the higher rate of low vision and blindness occurrence in eyes with myopic maculopathy observed in the present study, suggested that CCDC102B likely determines the fate of highly myopic eyes. [nature.com]
Results are presented as mean SD. Student’s t -tests were done for analysis of cycloplegic refraction and axial length measurements of both groups at the start of the study (baseline) and every 6 months for 2 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Improved performance in program delivery to this group is required, especially given the addition of zoster vaccine at 70 years of age from November 2016, and perhaps 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine at 65 years and pertussis vaccine for pregnant [mja.com.au]

Blurred Vision
Symptoms of a detached retina include light flashes, floaters, blurred vision and a shadow across the field of vision. [allaboutvision.com]
This causes blurred vision. Doctors call this a refractive error. High myopia : It’s a more serious form of the condition, where the eyeball grows more than it is supposed to and becomes very long front to back. [webmd.com]
Blurred vision, for example, may suggest you need a prescription change, or it could be a sign of another problem. [mayoclinic.org]

A difference of this magnitude would blur vision on a Snellen visual acuity chart to 6/18 and affect the ability to drive without glasses. [bmj.com]

Headache
Symptoms Nearsightedness symptoms may include: Blurry vision when looking at distant objects The need to squint or partially close the eyelids to see clearly Headaches caused by eyestrain Difficulty seeing while driving a vehicle, especially at night [mayoclinic.org]
You may also notice: Headaches Squint Eye strain Eye fatigue when you try to see objects more than a few feet away Children with myopia often have trouble reading the blackboard at school. [webmd.com]
Signs that your child may be short-sighted can include: needing to sit near the front of the class at school because they find it difficult to read the whiteboard sitting close to the TV complaining of headaches or tired eyes regularly rubbing their eyes [nhs.uk]

Neglect
The reasons for the neglect of adult immunisation are multifactorial and are not limited to Australia. [mja.com.au]
Treatment
Treatments for short-sightedness Short-sightedness can usually be corrected effectively with a number of treatments. [nhs.uk]
However, at the end of the treatment the cornea is left without its epithelium, which must regenerate. This can lead to post-operative discomfort for the first few days. [institutmacula.com]
He said related departments must come up with effective and comprehensive solutions targeting prevention and treatment, and must also deepen educational reforms. Local authorities and different government departments should ensure implementation. [chinadaily.com.cn]
They called their study ATOM (Atropine in the Treatment of Myopia). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Final Considerations Based on published data, we cannot determine whether prophylactic treatment is indicated. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
Prognosis
Combined with our longitudinal study results on visual prognosis in highly myopic eyes, 6.0% (0.378 0.16) of eyes will suffer from blindness, and 19.7% (0.378 0.52) will suffer from low vision within 10 years. [nature.com]
Etiology
Introduction The degenerative myopia is often associated with blindness and the etiology is still not clear. [medical-clinical-reviews.imedpub.com]

Pathophysiology
Although the pathophysiology is unknown, there are evidences - as the world standard for the disease distribution-indicating genetic influences. [medical-clinical-reviews.imedpub.com]
Prevention
Every now and then, he came across a paper suggesting that dopamine could slow eye elongation and prevent myopia. This led to the discovery of a fascinating story. [biology.anu.edu.au]
