Overview

Pathologic myopia that is due to axial elongation causes thining of the retina and choroid, especially in cases of posterior staphyloma. The result of this myopia is the development of various kinds of chorioretinal atrophy in the posterior pole, with a gradual progression of the atrophic causes extending over several decades. This atlas discusses questions concerning posterior fundus changes in the pathologic myopia. A major feature of the book is the presentation of many case studies, with colour photographs to show the course of fundus changes. The atlas should be useful for ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians and medical students.
