    This study describes a rare choroidal condition in myopic women, presenting as yellow-white lesions that can lead to vision loss if affecting the macula or causing neovascularization.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases
    • Choroidal Neovascularization

    Background:

    • Investigating the clinical presentation and natural history of inner choroidal and pigment epithelial lesions in moderately myopic women.
    • Understanding the association between these lesions and visual disturbances like blurred vision, flashes, and scotomas.

    Observation:

    • Observed small yellow-white lesions in the inner choroid and pigment epithelium in ten myopic women.
    • Lesions exhibited serous detachment, hyperfluorescence, and fluorescein leakage during the acute phase.
    • Lesions healed into atrophic scars, becoming more pigmented over time.

    Findings:

    • Subretinal neovascular membranes developed from scars in six out of ten patients.
    • Visual acuity was generally preserved unless lesions were subfoveal or choroidal neovascularization occurred.

  • Extensive laboratory investigations provided non-contributory results.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights a specific choroidal pathology in myopic women that can lead to visual impairment.
    • Suggests the potential for delayed complications such as choroidal neovascularization.
    • Emphasizes the importance of monitoring these lesions for visual prognosis in affected individuals.
