Guidelines for the Treatment of Myopic Traction Maculopathy

Myopia is one of the leading causes of visual loss, which can lead to potentially blinding ocular diseases [1, 2]. It is usually classified into two groups: non-pathologic and pathologic myopia (PM) [3]. PM is defined as a high refractive error (>−6.00D) or as an axial length >26.00 mm. However, the exact threshold between the two and the differentiation between myopia and pathologic myopia are yet to be established [4–6].
