Lee MW, et al. - In patients with high myopia without any other ophthalmic disease, researchers determined the longitudinal changes in the axial length (AL). Participants in the study were divided into two groups: a high myopia group (60 eyes) without myopic degeneration, like chorioretinal atrophy or posterior staphyloma, and a control group (60 eyes). According to the AL, both groups were further divided into subgroups: subgroup 1 (≥ 27.5 mm), subgroup 2 (26.0–27.5 mm), subgroup 3 (24.5–26.0 mm) and subgroup 4 (< 24.5 mm). According to findings, myopic eyes, including moderately myopic eyes, exhibited a steady rise in AL over 4 years, and eyes with longer baseline AL displayed a higher rise in AL than eyes with shorter AL.
