Advances in classification, diagnosis and treatment of myopic maculopathy
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 3
Abstract
Myopic maculopathy (MM) is the most common complication of myopia, which is also the main cause of poor visual function in pathologic myopia. Presently, the classification system of MM cannot properly explain the numerous changes that occur in the patient's macula. Therefore, a comprehensive and unified classification system is urgently needed to facilitate in communicating and comparing the results of clinical trials and international multicenter studies. With the development and application of fundus imaging technology, the latest classification of MM, namely ATN (atrophy, A; traction, T; neovascularization, N) classificationsystem, which combines fundus photographs and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, classifies macular lesions into 3 categories according to its severity, generating greater clinical value for the diagnosis and treatment of MM.
