For me Frances had physical charms: in her there was no deformity to get over; none of those prominent defects of eyes, teeth, complexion, shape, which hold at bay the admiration of the boldest male champions of intellect (for women can love a downright ugly man if he be but talented); had she been either "edentee,
myope, rugueuse, ou bossue," my feelings towards her might still have been kindly, but they could never have been impassioned; I had affection for the poor little misshapen Sylvie, but for her I could never have had love.
High
myopes have an elevated risk of developing cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachments and myopic maculopathy, Dr Bullimore said.
Very high
myopes with a axial length more than 26 mm, because of large bag are known to have rotational instability in patients opting for toric multi focal IOL implantation.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the ophthalmology clinic of Shifa Foundation Falahee Clinic, Islamabad, Pakistan, from January to December 2016, and comprised eye patients including emmetropes, hypermetropes and
myopes. All participants underwent detailed ophthalmic examination including axial lengths measurements, auto refraction andretinal nerve fibre layer thickness analysis.
Assessment of Pupil Diameters of Emmetropes and
Myopes under Photopic, Mesopic and Scotopic Conditions, Using the Infrared Pupillometer Integrated Within Schwind Sirius Multifunctional Diagnostic Device.
Patients having past history of intraocular surgery or trauma, laser photocoagulation or previous intravitreal injections, glaucoma, ocular hypertension, high
myopes, corneal diseases or any other pre-existing ocular/retinal pathologies were excluded from the study.
It beat all her imagination when you instructed people with family member(s) having glaucoma, people aged years and older as well as
myopes to imbibe the culture of regular periodic eye checkup.
Lam et al15 stated that in high
myopes having age of 35 to 54 years, foveal thicknesses was greater but the macular thicknesses was considerably less.
[1] assessed corneal elevation and pachymetry in hyperopes compared to
myopes, where they concluded that when adjusted for age, the PE changes remained statistically significant between hyperopic and myopic patients, but AE changes lost significance.
It has been reported that
myopes have higher amplitude of accommodation (AA) as compared to emmetropes.
Further, with the findings suggesting that the US will have 260 million
myopes by 2050, up from the 90 million in 2000, and Canada will see 66 million high
myopes by 2050, up from the 11 million in 2000, the vision loss from high myopia is expected to increase seven-fold from 2000 to 2050.
