[Progressive myopia and posterior scleral reinforcement: retrospective studies]

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Retinal Diseases
• Myopia Research

Context:

• Progressive myopia poses a significant risk for visual impairment.
• Surgical interventions are being explored to halt myopia progression.
• Posterior Scleral Reinforcement is a surgical technique for myopia control.

Purpose:

• To evaluate the efficacy of Posterior Scleral Reinforcement (PSR) in managing progressive myopia.
• To analyze the long-term and middle-term outcomes of PSR.
• To assess various parameters including refractive error, visual acuity, and ocular health.

Summary:

• A retrospective study assessed Posterior Scleral Reinforcement outcomes in progressive myopia.
• Results indicate that PSR stabilizes myopia progression, with positive effects on refraction and axial length.
• The procedure demonstrated good safety with minimal complications and favorable patient subjective appreciation.

Impact:

• Posterior Scleral Reinforcement shows promise as a stable treatment for progressive myopia.
• Findings support the potential of PSR in preventing further visual deterioration.
• Encourages further research, including prospective studies, to solidify evidence for PSR in myopia management.
