Leveziel N, Marillet S, Dufour Q, et al. - Via performing a cross-sectional multicenter study at French eye clinics mainly dedicated to refractive errors, researchers assessed data files from 198,641 myopic individuals (mean age: 34 years) and investigated the prevalence of macular complications, visual impairment and blindness in these patients. The prevalence of mild (−0.5 to −3 D), moderate (−3 to −6 D), high (−6 to −10 D) and very high (more than −10 D) was, respectively, 65.95%, 26.14%, 6.72%, and 1.19%. Results from a rather young group of European patients suggest the visual impact of myopia in older populations and in populations with a higher incidence of high myopia. Among the persons with high myopia and very high myopia, 9.75% [7.91–11.85%] and 25.71% [21.00–30.87%], respectively, developed vision impairment or blindness by the age of 60.
