Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of macula choroidal neovascularization(CNV) in high myopia patients and the associated risk factors.Methods Fifty-six outpatients(112 eyes) with high myopia were medically examined from Mar.2008 to Jun.2009.The inspection items,including A scan,B scan,diopter and optical coherence tomography(OCT),were carried out to check whether CNV existed and its growth fashion.The patients' basic status,main symptoms and the pathologic change in macula were recorded.Results The prevalence of CNV in the 56 outpatients(112 eyes) was 14.3%.Gender showed no correlation with CNV(r=-0.015,P=0.879),while age(r=0.629,P=0.000),diopter(r=0.725,P=0.000),axial length(r=0.236,P=0.013),posterior scleral staphyloma(r=0.344,P=0.000),atrophy of choroid and retina in posterior pole(r=0.421,P=0.000),lacquer crack(r=0.421,P=0.000) and Fuchs spot(r=0.519,P=0.000) were significantly correlated with the prevalence of CNV.Conclusions CNV may highly occurred in the patients with high myopia.Posterior scleral staphyloma,atrophy of choroid and retina in posterior pole,lacquer crack,Fuchs spot,age,axial length and diopter seem to be the risk factors for the occurence of CNV.
