Fundus changes in high myopic Kashmiri population

Background: High myopia (defined as of -6D or more) is one the main causes visual impairment worldwide. always accompanied by pathological structural changes such axial elongation, posterior staphyloma, lacquer crack formation, thinning retina and choroid, choroidal neovascularization.
 Aims Objectives: The purpose this study was to examine fundus in eyes with high myopia.
 Materials Methods: All participants underwent dilated examination photography. Myopia-related macular (posterior cracks, Fuchs spot, myopic chorioretinal atrophy, neovascularization)and optic disc (optic nerve head tilt,optic dimensions, peripapillary atrophy) were evaluated.
 Results: Statistical analysis performed evaluate myopia. Data included 107 57 patients.Mean ± SE 12.07 3.184D Mean AL 26.68± 1.577mm mean age 28.54 9.44 years(14-50 years). Fundus were: Temporal crescent 56 (52.33%) eyes, tessellated appearance 52(48.59%) cracks 40 (37.38%) tilted 30 (28%) lattice degeneration 20(18.69%) staphyloma focal atrophy 3 (2.8%) eyes. CNV 2 (1.86%)eyes retinal hole 1(1%) eye.
 Conclusions: Tessellated temporal most common findings among Kashmiri population In population, also common, while holes rare.
