Differences between pathologic and non-pathologic high myopia in 4-year outcomes of anti-VEGF therapy for macular neovascularization. Sci Rep 2024; 14:13399. [PMID: 38862630 PMCID: PMC11166914 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-64456-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
This retrospective observational study aimed to investigate the difference in 4-year outcomes of ranibizumab or aflibercept therapy for macular neovascularization (MNV) with high myopia between pathologic myopia (PM) and non-PM. This study was conducted at Kyoto University Hospital and included consecutive treatment-naïve eyes with active myopic MNV, in which a single intravitreal ranibizumab or aflibercept injection was administered, followed by a pro re nata (PRN) regimen for 4 years. Based on the META-PM study classification, eyes were assigned to the non-PM and PM groups. This study analyzed 118 eyes of 118 patients (non-PM group, 19 eyes; PM group, 99 eyes). Baseline, 1-year, and 2-year best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were significantly better in the non-PM group (P = 0.02, 0.01, and 0.02, respectively); however, the 3-year and 4-year BCVA were not. The 4-year BCVA course was similar in both groups. However, the total number of injections over 4 years was significantly higher in the non-PM than in the PM group (4.6 ± 2.6 vs. 2.9 ± 2.6, P = 0.001). Four-year BCVA significantly correlated only with baseline BCVA in both non-PM (P = 0.047, β = 0.46) and PM groups (P < 0.001, β = 0.59). In conclusion, over the 4-year observation period, the BCVA course after anti-VEGF therapy for myopic MNV was similar in the eyes with non-PM and those with PM; however, more additional injections in a PRN regimen were required in the eyes with non-PM compared to those with PM. Thus, more frequent and careful follow-up is required for the eyes with non-PM compared with those with PM to maintain long-term BCVA.

Evaluation and comparison of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in normal and moderate myopic individuals. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 46:104077. [PMID: 38582391 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.104077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) parameters in patients with moderate myopia and healthy individuals retrospectively. METHODS A total of 80 male individuals aged 18-20 years were included in the study with 40 moderate myopic and 40 healthy persons. All participants underwent detailed ocular examination including refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, biomicroscopy, OCTA measurement and optic biometry measurement. Retinal, retinal nerve fiber layer and choroidal layer thicknesses were evaluated in µm with the help of the software available in the OCTA device. RESULTS The mean axial length (24.32 ± 0.53 mm) was statistically significantly higher in the moderate myopic group (24.32 mm) compared to the healthy group (23.33 ± 0.61 mm) (p < 0.001). Spherical equivalent (SE) was found as -3.79 ± 0.91 D in the moderate myopic group and -0.22 ± 0.32 D in the healthy group (p < 0.05). The mean superficial foveal mean density (FovSupMVD) and the mean deep foveal mean density (FovDepMVD) were statistically significantly lower in the moderate myopic group than in the healthy group (both, p < 0.001). The mean retinal temporal thickness (RTt) was statistically significantly lower in the moderate myopic group (p = 0.017). There was a mild negative correlation between axial length and FovSupMVD, FovDepMVD in myopes. In axial length ROC analysis, the cutoff value for moderate myopes was found to be 24.15 mm. Mean superficial foveal mean density (FovSupMVD) and mean deep foveal mean density (FovDepMVD), mean retinal temporal thickness (RTt) were significantly lower in the group above 24.15 mm axial length compared to the group below 24.15 mm axial length (all three, p < 0.001). Foveal avascular zone was significantly higher in the group above 24.15 mm axial length (p = 0.016) CONCLUSION: The results of our study indicate that the mean axial length and spherical equivalent were significantly higher, while retinal temporal thickness, the mean superficial foveal mean density and the mean deep foveal mean density were significantly lower in patients with myopia up to -6.0 D compared to the healthy individuals.

[PMID: 37733224 PMCID: PMC10640433 DOI: 10.1007/s40123-023-00802-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to assess the existing literature on fundus tessellation (FT), focusing on its prevalence, associated factors, distribution, and progression. METHODS Systemic methods were employed to search and gather published literature on FT from databases such as the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Web of Science (WOS), and Elsevier on July 1, 2023. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) criteria. A meta-analysis was conducted to compare tessellated and normal fundus with respect to age, gender, axial length, and spherical equivalent. RESULTS The systematic review included 23 articles, encompassing a total of 3053 eyes in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of FT varied from 43.00 to 94.35%. The severity of FT was significantly associated with older age, male sex, lower body weight index, longer axial length, larger peripapillary atrophy, thinner choroid, thinner sclera, and larger corneal radius of curvature, suggesting a potential progression pattern. Notably, FT was observed predominantly in the macular and peripapillary regions. The meta-analysis revealed that tessellated fundus tended to be associated with older age (mean difference [MD] 4.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.71-7.80, P < 0.01), longer axial length (MD 0.86, 95% CI 0.70-1.02, P < 0.01), and a lower spherical equivalent (MD - 1.16, 95% CI - 1.68 to 0.65, P < 0.01) compared to normal fundus. However, there was no significant difference in the proportion of males between individuals with tessellated and normal fundus (odds ratio [OR] 1.12, 95% CI 0.89-1.42, P = 0.32). CONCLUSIONS Overall, this systematic review and meta-analysis shed light on the prevalence, characteristics, and factors associated with FT, offering valuable insights for clinicians and researchers in the field of ophthalmology. STUDY REGISTRATION The study protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42023442486).

Association Between Choroidal Thickness and Myopic Maculopathy in a Japanese Population: The Hisayama Study. OPHTHALMOLOGY SCIENCE 2023; 3:100350. [PMID: 37484162 PMCID: PMC10362162 DOI: 10.1016/j.xops.2023.100350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Purpose To examine the association between choroidal thickness and myopic maculopathy in a general Japanese population. Design Population-based cross-sectional study. Participants A total of 2841 residents of a Japanese community aged ≥ 40 years, who consented to participate and had available data of choroidal thickness and fundus photographs, were enrolled in this study. Methods The choroidal thickness was measured by swept-source OCT. Participants were divided into quartiles of choroidal thickness. Myopic maculopathy was defined according to the classification system of the Meta-analysis of Pathologic Myopia Study Group. Main outcome measures were odds ratios (ORs) of choroidal thickness for prevalent myopic maculopathy. The ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using a logistic regression model. Main Outcome Measures Prevalent myopic maculopathy. Results Eighty-one participants had myopic maculopathy (45 diffuse chorioretinal atrophy, 31 patchy chorioretinal atrophy, and 5 macular atrophy). Individuals in the lowest quartile of choroidal thickness had a significantly greater OR for the presence of myopic maculopathy than those in the highest quartile of choroidal thickness (OR: 4.78 [95% CI: 1.78-16.72]) after adjusting for confounders, including axial length. The sensitivity analysis among the 1176 myopic individuals with axial length of ≥ 24.0 mm also showed that thinner choroidal thickness was significantly associated with prevalent myopic maculopathy. Conclusions The present study demonstrated the significant inverse association between choroidal thickness and the likelihood of myopic maculopathy, suggesting that the measurement of choroidal thickness in addition to axial length would be useful for assessing the risk of myopic maculopathy and elucidating its pathogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyse the topographic characteristics in macular choroidal thickness (mChT) and ocular biometry in myopic maculopathy and to explore the potential cut-off value for prediction of myopic maculopathy (MM). METHODS All participants underwent detailed ocular examinations. MM was subdivided into thin choroid, Bruch's membrane (BM) defects, choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM) according to OCT-based classification system. Peripapillary atrophy area (PPA), tilt ratio, torsion, and mChT were individually measured. RESULTS A total of 1947 participants were included. In multivariate logistics models, older age, longer axial length, larger PPA area, and thinner average mChT were more likely to have MM and different type of MM. Female participants were more likely to have MM and BM defects. A lower tilt ratio was more likely to be associated with CNV and MTM. The area under the curve (AUC) of single tilt ratio, PPA area, torsion, and topographic of mChT for MM, thin choroid, BM Defects, CNV, and MTM were 0.6581 to 0.9423, 0.6564 to 0.9335, 0.6120 to 0.9554, 0.5734 to 0.9312, 0.6415 to 0.9382, respectively. After combining PPA area and average mChT for predicting MM, thin choroid, BM defects, CNV, and MTM, the AUC of the combination were 0.9678, 0.9279, 0.9531, 0.9213, 0.9317, respectively. CONCLUSION Progressive and continuous PPA area expanding and thin choroid play a role in the development of myopic maculopathy. The present study showed that a combination of peripapillary atrophy area and the choroidal thickness could be used to predict MM and each type of MM.

Ophthalmol Ther 2023; 12:1989-2003. [PMID: 37171558 PMCID: PMC10287860 DOI: 10.1007/s40123-023-00710-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myopic atrophic maculopathy is prevalent among patients with pathologic myopia and frequently leads to relentless vision loss. Several grading systems were established to facilitate the understanding of myopic atrophic maculopathy. However, the anatomical details in different stages of myopic maculopathy are so far not clearly elucidated. This study aims to investigate the visual acuity and retinal sublayer features in highly myopic eyes with varying severities of myopic atrophic maculopathy (MAM). METHODS The clinical records of 111 consecutive patients (158 eyes) with high myopia (refractive error ≤ -6.0 D and axial length ≥ 26.0 mm) were reviewed. Fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured. MAM was graded according to the META-analysis for Pathologic Myopia (META-PM) classification system. Myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV) and dome-shaped macula (DSM) were also investigated. RESULTS Among the 158 eyes, 18 (11%), 21(13%), 24 (15%), 25 (16%), 23 (15%), and 24 (15%) had tessellated fundus, diffuse chorioretinal atrophy, diffuse chorioretinal atrophy with DSM, patchy atrophy, patchy atrophy with DSM, and MAM with mCNV, respectively. A total of 23 (15%) eyes had macular atrophy without mCNV. Progressive thinning in the Henle's fiber and outer nuclear layers, myoid and ellipsoid zone (MEZ), outer segment (OS), and interdigitation zone and retinal pigmented epithelium based on the severity of MAM (p-value < 0.001) was found. MEZ and OS were most significantly reduced in thickness (p-value < 0.001). The presence of mCNV demonstrated significant outer retinal layer thinning compared with that of the tessellated fundus (p-value = 0.031). Patchy atrophy with DSM showed statistically poorer BCVA compared with that without (p-value = 0.008). CONCLUSION Visual acuity and outer retinal sublayer characteristics were correlated with the severity of MAM. Outer retinal sublayer analysis by spectrum-domain OCT shed some light on the mechanisms of MAM progression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The maculopathy in highly myopic eyes is complex. Its clinical diagnosis is a huge workload and subjective. To simply and quickly classify pathologic myopia (PM), a deep learning algorithm was developed and assessed to screen myopic maculopathy lesions based on color fundus photographs. METHODS This study included 10,347 ocular fundus photographs from 7606 participants. Of these photographs, 8210 were used for training and validation, and 2137 for external testing. A deep learning algorithm was trained, validated, and externally tested to screen myopic maculopathy which was classified into four categories: normal or mild tessellated fundus, severe tessellated fundus, early-stage PM, and advanced-stage PM. The area under the precision-recall curve, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and Cohen's kappa were calculated and compared with those of retina specialists. RESULTS In the validation data set, the model detected normal or mild tessellated fundus, severe tessellated fundus, early-stage PM, and advanced-stage PM with AUCs of 0.98, 0.95, 0.99, and 1.00, respectively; while in the external-testing data set of 2137 photographs, the model had AUCs of 0.99, 0.96, 0.98, and 1.00, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We developed a deep learning model for detection and classification of myopic maculopathy based on fundus photographs. Our model achieved high sensitivities, specificities, and reliable Cohen's kappa, compared with those of attending ophthalmologists.

Fang Z, Xu Z, He X, Han W. Artificial intelligence-based pathologic myopia identification system in the ophthalmology residency training program. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:1053079. [PMID: 36407106 PMCID: PMC9669055 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.1053079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been successfully applied to the screening tasks of fundus diseases. However, few studies focused on the potential of AI to aid medical teaching in the residency training program. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the AI-based pathologic myopia (PM) identification system in the ophthalmology residency training program and assess the residents’ feedback on this system. Materials and Methods: Ninety residents in the ophthalmology department at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University were randomly assigned to three groups. In group A, residents learned PM through an AI-based PM identification system. In group B and group C, residents learned PM through a traditional lecture given by two senior specialists independently. The improvement in resident performance was evaluated by comparing the pre-and post-lecture scores of a specifically designed test using a paired t-test. The difference among the three groups was evaluated by one-way ANOVA. Residents’ evaluations of the AI-based PM identification system were measured by a 17-item questionnaire. Results: The post-lecture scores were significantly higher than the pre-lecture scores in group A (p < 0.0001). However, there was no difference between pre-and post-lecture scores in group B (p = 0.628) and group C (p = 0.158). Overall, all participants were satisfied and agreed that the AI-based PM identification system was effective and helpful to acquire PM identification, myopic maculopathy (MM) classification, and “Plus” lesion localization. Conclusion: It is still difficult for ophthalmic residents to promptly grasp the knowledge of identification of PM through a single traditional lecture, while the AI-based PM identification system effectively improved residents’ performance in PM identification and received satisfactory feedback from residents. The application of the AI-based PM identification system showed advantages in promoting the efficiency of the ophthalmology residency training program.

Distribution and association of visual impairment with myopic maculopathy across age groups among highly myopic eyes - based on the new classification system (ATN). Acta Ophthalmol 2022; 100:e957-e967. [PMID: 34605605 PMCID: PMC9291740 DOI: 10.1111/aos.15020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the percentages and risk factors for visual impairment (VI) across age groups in a highly myopic cohort with a wide range of age (18–93 years). Methods A total of 2099 eyes (1220 participants) were enrolled. All participants underwent detailed ocular examinations. Myopic maculopathy (MM) was assessed as myopic atrophy maculopathy (MAM), myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) or myopic neovascular maculopathy (MNM) based on the ATN system. Results Most participants younger than 50 years had normal vision, while the cumulative risk of VI and blindness gradually increased after 50–59 years. The percentage of each type of MM increased nonlinearly with ageing (all p < 0.001), with an accelerated period of increase after 45 years for MAM, and after 50 years for MTM and MNM. Axial length (AL) ≥30 mm was the only associated factor for mild VI or worse in participants aged 18–39 years (p < 0.001). Older age, AL ≥30 mm and the presence of MAM were predictors for mild VI or worse in the group aged 40–49 years (all p < 0.05). In participants aged ≥50 years, older age, female sex, longer AL and increased severity of MM were risk factors for VI and blindness (all p < 0.05). Conclusion The percentages of MM and related VI increased nonlinearly with older age, with a turning point at 45 years for MAM, preceding that of MTM, MNM and VI by 5 years, warranting future longitudinal studies to confirm. Different age groups presented different risk factors for VI. Timely screening should be in place for middle‐aged high myopes.

Abstract
Purpose To predict the fundus tessellation (FT) severity with machine learning methods. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study with 3,468 individuals (mean age of 64.6 ± 9.8 years) based on Beijing Eye Study 2011. Participants underwent detailed ophthalmic examinations including fundus images. Five machine learning methods including ordinal logistic regression, ordinal probit regression, ordinal log-gamma regression, ordinal forest and neural network were used. Main Outcome Measure FT precision, recall, F1-score, weighted-average F1-score and AUC value. Results Observed from the in-sample fitting performance, the optimal model was ordinal forest, which had correct classification rate (precision) of 81.28%, while 34.75, 93.73, 70.03, and 24.82% in each classified group by FT severity. The AUC value was 0.7249. And the F1-score was 65.05%, weighted-average F1-score was 79.64% on the whole dataset. For out-of-sample prediction performance, the optimal model was ordinal logistic regression, which had precision of 77.12% on the validation dataset, while 19.57, 92.68, 64.74, and 6.76% in each classified group by FT severity. The AUC value was 0.7187. The classification accuracy of light FT group was the highest, while that of severe FT group was the lowest. And the F1-score was 54.46%, weighted-average F1-score was 74.19% on the whole dataset. Conclusions The ordinal forest and ordinal logistic regression model had the strong prediction in-sample and out-sample performance, respectively. The threshold ranges of the ordinal forest model for no FT and light, moderate, severe FT were [0, 0.3078], [0.3078, 0.3347], [0.3347, 0.4048], [0.4048, 1], respectively. Likewise, the threshold ranges of ordinal logistic regression model were ≤ 3.7389, [3.7389, 10.5053], [10.5053, 13.9323], > 13.9323. These results can be applied to guide clinical fundus disease screening and FT severity assessment.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the retinal vascular morphological characteristics in high myopia patients of different severity. Methods 317 eyes of high myopia patients and 104 eyes of healthy control subjects were included in this study. The severity of high myopia patients is classified into C0-C4 according to the Meta Analysis of the Pathologic Myopia (META-PM) classification and their vascular morphological characteristics in ultra-wide field imaging were analyzed using transfer learning methods and RU-net. Correlation with axial length (AL), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and age was analyzed. In addition, the vascular morphological characteristics of myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV) patients and their matched high myopia patients were compared. Results The RU-net and transfer learning system of blood vessel segmentation had an accuracy of 98.24%, a sensitivity of 71.42%, a specificity of 99.37%, a precision of 73.68% and a F1 score of 72.29. Compared with healthy control group, high myopia group had smaller vessel angle (31.12 ± 2.27 vs. 32.33 ± 2.14), smaller fractal dimension (Df) (1.383 ± 0.060 vs. 1.424 ± 0.038), smaller vessel density (2.57 ± 0.96 vs. 3.92 ± 0.93) and fewer vascular branches (201.87 ± 75.92 vs. 271.31 ± 67.37), all P < 0.001. With the increase of myopia maculopathy severity, vessel angle, Df, vessel density and vascular branches significantly decreased (all P < 0.001). There were significant correlations of these characteristics with AL, BCVA and age. Patients with mCNV tended to have larger vessel density (P < 0.001) and more vascular branches (P = 0.045). Conclusion The RU-net and transfer learning technology used in this study has an accuracy of 98.24%, thus has good performance in quantitative analysis of vascular morphological characteristics in Ultra-wide field images. Along with the increase of myopic maculopathy severity and the elongation of eyeball, vessel angle, Df, vessel density and vascular branches decreased. Myopic CNV patients have larger vessel density and more vascular branches.

Abstract
Question What is the prevalence of myopic macular degeneration in Dutch individuals of European ancestry with high myopia? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 626 individuals with European ancestry with high myopia, the prevalence of myopic macular degeneration was 25.9% and increased with older age, lower spherical equivalent of refractive error, and higher axial length. Meaning Myopic retinal features were frequent in this highly myopic study population, but not different than patients of Asian ancestry with similar risk profiles. Importance High myopia incidence and prevalence is increasing worldwide, and the visual burden caused by myopia is expected to rise accordingly. Studies investigating the occurrence of myopic complications in individuals of European ancestry with high myopia are scarce, hampering insights into the frequency of myopic retinal complications in European individuals and their visual burden. Objective To assess the frequency of myopic macular features in individuals of European ancestry with high myopia. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional analysis of the Dutch Myopia Study (MYST) and individuals with high myopia from the Rotterdam Study (RS) included 626 patients with high myopia (spherical equivalent of refractive error [SER] ≤−6 diopters [D] or axial length [AL] ≥26 mm) who underwent an extensive ophthalmic examination including multimodal retinal imaging. In addition to this combination of a population-based cohort study and mix-based high myopia study, a systematic literature review was also performed to compare findings with studies of individuals of Asian ancestry. Exposures High myopia, age, and AL. Main Outcomes and Measures Frequency of myopic macular and optic disc features: tessellated fundus, myopic macular degeneration (MMD), staphyloma, peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation, peripapillary atrophy (PPA), and “plus” lesions (choroidal neovascularization, Fuchs spot, and lacquer cracks). Results The mean (SD) SER of the combined study population (MYST and RS) was −9.9 (3.2) D; the mean (SD) age was 51.4 (15.1) years, and 387 (61.8%) were women. The prevalence of MMD was 25.9% and increased with older age (P for trend <.001), lower SER (odds ratio [OR], 0.70; 95% CI, 0.65-0.76; P < .001), and higher AL (OR, 2.53; 95% CI, 2.13-3.06; P < .001). Choroidal neovascularization or Fuchs spot was present in 2.7% (n = 17), both lesions in 0.3% (n = 2), and lacquer cracks in 1.4% (n = 9). Staphyloma, PPA, and MMD were highly prevalent in visual impaired and blind eyes (frequency was 73.9% [20 of 27], 90.5% [19 of 21], and 63.0% [17 of 27] of unilateral blind eyes for MMD, staphyloma, and PPA, respectively). Seven previous studies in Asian populations reported a variable MMD frequency ranging from 8.3% to 64%, but frequencies were similar for comparable risk profiles based on age and SER. Conclusions and Relevance In this cross-sectional study of a highly myopic Dutch population of European ancestry, myopic retinal features were frequent; were associated with age, SER, and AL; and occurred in all visually severely impaired eyes. The absence of treatment options for most of these retinal complications emphasizes the need for effective strategies to prevent high myopia.

AI-Model for Identifying Pathologic Myopia Based on Deep Learning Algorithms of Myopic Maculopathy Classification and "Plus" Lesion Detection in Fundus Images. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:719262. [PMID: 34722502 PMCID: PMC8554089 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.719262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Pathologic myopia (PM) associated with myopic maculopathy (MM) and “Plus” lesions is a major cause of irreversible visual impairment worldwide. Therefore, we aimed to develop a series of deep learning algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI)–models for automatic PM identification, MM classification, and “Plus” lesion detection based on retinal fundus images. Materials and Methods: Consecutive 37,659 retinal fundus images from 32,419 patients were collected. After excluding 5,649 ungradable images, a total dataset of 32,010 color retinal fundus images was manually graded for training and cross-validation according to the META-PM classification. We also retrospectively recruited 1,000 images from 732 patients from the three other hospitals in Zhejiang Province, serving as the external validation dataset. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and quadratic-weighted kappa score were calculated to evaluate the classification algorithms. The precision, recall, and F1-score were calculated to evaluate the object detection algorithms. The performance of all the algorithms was compared with the experts’ performance. To better understand the algorithms and clarify the direction of optimization, misclassification and visualization heatmap analyses were performed. Results: In five-fold cross-validation, algorithm I achieved robust performance, with accuracy = 97.36% (95% CI: 0.9697, 0.9775), AUC = 0.995 (95% CI: 0.9933, 0.9967), sensitivity = 93.92% (95% CI: 0.9333, 0.9451), and specificity = 98.19% (95% CI: 0.9787, 0.9852). The macro-AUC, accuracy, and quadratic-weighted kappa were 0.979, 96.74% (95% CI: 0.963, 0.9718), and 0.988 (95% CI: 0.986, 0.990) for algorithm II. Algorithm III achieved an accuracy of 0.9703 to 0.9941 for classifying the “Plus” lesions and an F1-score of 0.6855 to 0.8890 for detecting and localizing lesions. The performance metrics in external validation dataset were comparable to those of the experts and were slightly inferior to those of cross-validation. Conclusion: Our algorithms and AI-models were confirmed to achieve robust performance in real-world conditions. The application of our algorithms and AI-models has promise for facilitating clinical diagnosis and healthcare screening for PM on a large scale.

Abstract
Globally, cases of myopia have reached epidemic levels. High myopia and pathological myopia (PM) are the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in China, demanding a large volume of myopia screening tasks to control the rapid growing myopic prevalence. It is desirable to develop the automatically intelligent system to facilitate these time- and labor- consuming tasks. In this study, we designed a series of deep learning systems to detect PM and myopic macular lesions according to a recent international photographic classification system (META-PM) classification based on color fundus images. Notably, our systems recorded robust performance both in the test and external validation dataset. The performance was comparable to the general ophthalmologist and retinal specialist. With the extensive adoption of this technology, effective mass screening for myopic population will become feasible on a national scale. Lu et al. develop a deep-learning based detection system for identifying pathological myopia and myopic macular legions in retinal fundus images. The system performance is comparable to human experts, but much faster, easing the burden of human time on screening for myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze clinical characteristics in eyes with myopic traction maculopathy (MTM). METHODS Nine hundred and ninety-one patients (1,334 eyes) with MTM, who visited Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2014 to December 2019, were involved. Myopic traction maculopathy was classified into six grades according to the new classification system: no macular schisis (T0), inner or outer foveoschisis (FS) (T1); inner and outer FS (T2), foveal detachment (T3), full-thickness macular hole (T4), and macular hole retinal detachment (T5). RESULTS Seven hundred and seventy-eight (58.32%) eyes were in T0, 157 (11.77%) in T1, 177 (13.27%) in T2, 129 (9.67%) in T3, 45 (3.37%) in T4, and 48 (3.67%) in T5. With the severity of MTM, age increased and the best-corrected visual acuity became worse (P < 0.001). However, no significant differences were found on spherical equivalent refraction or axial length among different grades of MTM (P > 0.05). Moreover, significant differences on best-corrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent refraction, axial length, and staphyloma rate existed between eyes with inner FS and eyes with outer FS (P < 0.01), but not between eyes with outer FS and eyes with both inner FS and outer FS (P > 0.05). Besides, significant differences were found on spherical equivalent refraction, axial length, and staphyloma rate between full-thickness macular hole with and without macular schisis (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Spherical equivalent refraction and axial length were not correlated with the severity of MTM in this cohort. It might be preferable to categorize eyes with outer FS and eyes with both inner FS and outer FS as a same grade. Potential difference in the pathogenesis between full-thickness macular hole with and without macular schisis might exist.

Abstract
Pathologic myopia is a major cause of visual impairment worldwide. Pathologic myopia is distinctly different from high myopia. High myopia is a high degree of myopic refractive error, whereas pathologic myopia is defined by a presence of typical complications in the fundus (posterior staphyloma or myopic maculopathy equal to or more serious than diffuse choroidal atrophy). Pathologic myopia often occurs in eyes with high myopia, however its complications especially posterior staphyloma can also occur in eyes without high myopia. Owing to a recent advance in ocular imaging, an objective and accurate diagnosis of pathologic myopia has become possible. Especially, optical coherence tomography has revealed novel lesions like dome-shaped macula and myopic traction maculopathy. Wide-field optical coherence tomography has succeeded in visualizing the entire extent of large staphylomas. The effectiveness of new therapies for complications have been shown, such as anti-VEGF therapies for myopic macular neovascularization and vitreoretinal surgery for myopic traction maculopathy. Myopia, especially childhood myopia, has been increasing rapidly in the world. In parallel with an increase in myopia, the prevalence of high myopia has also been increasing. However, it remains unclear whether or not pathologic myopia will increase in parallel with an increase of myopia itself. In addition, it has remained unclear whether genes responsible for pathologic myopia are the same as those for myopia in general, or whether pathologic myopia is genetically different from other myopia.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:595544. [PMID: 33344480 PMCID: PMC7738318 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2020.595544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To develop a photographic classification for cilioretinal arteries and to investigate its association with myopic macular degeneration (MMD). Methods: One thousand six hundred ninety-two highly myopic eyes of 1,692 patients were included. The presence of a cilioretinal artery was determined by fundus photographs, and a photographic classification was proposed. MMD was classified according to the International META-PM Classification. Associations of the cilioretinal artery and its classifications with MMD and visual acuity were analyzed. Results: Of the eyes tested, 245 (14.5%) had a cilioretinal artery. The cilioretinal arteries were classified into four categories (temporal “cake-fork,” 35.92%; temporal “ribbon,” 53.47%; “multiple,” 6.53%; “nasal,” 4.08%) and 3 distributions based on whether its visible branches reached the central foveal area. Eyes with cilioretinal arteries had significantly less MMD of grade ≥3 and better visual acuity than those without (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that younger age, male sex, shorter axial length, and the presence of a cilioretinal artery were associated with better visual acuity in highly myopic eyes (all P < 0.05). The “nasal” category presented more MMD with grade ≥3 and worse visual acuity than the other categories (P < 0.05), whereas the “multiple” category contained no eyes with MMD grade ≥3. The cilioretinal arteries reaching the central foveal area showed less MMD of grade ≥3 and better visual acuity than those not (P < 0.05). Conclusions: We propose a photographic classification for cilioretinal arteries that has good clinical relevance to visual functions. The cilioretinal artery may potentially afford protection against MMD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate morphological differences between two types of Bruch's membrane (BM) defects-patchy atrophy (PA) and CNV-related macular atrophy (CNV-MA) METHODS: Eyes presenting with PA or CNV-MA were included. Scleral thickness (ST), choroidal thickness (CT), and scleral morphological characteristics were obtained by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Fundus photographs were performed to measure the size of PA and CNV-MA lesions. RESULTS Among a total of 167 eyes evaluated, 106 eyes had PA and 61 eyes had CNV-MA. In addition, dome-shaped macula (DSM) was identified in 20 (18.87%) and 10 (16.39%) eyes among PA and CNV-MA, respectively. The eyes of CNV-MA without DSM showed a thicker subfoveal ST (278.61 ± 56.17 vs 231.58 ± 66.09 mm, P < 0.001), a thinner subfoveal CT, and a higher rate of scleral perforating vessels (70.6% vs 50.0%, P = 0.021) when compared with those of PA without DSM. The size of PA/CNV-MA lesions was associated with CT in eyes without DSM. However, it was only associated with bulge height in eyes with DSM (r = 0.5, P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS The eyes with CNV-MA had a thicker sclera than those with PA, which add another evidence to indicate the absence of the progressive relationship between two types of BM defects. The enlargement of lesions in BM defects between eyes with and without DSM may be caused by different mechanical forces. SS-OCT, which focuses on scleral and choroid morphology, may be necessary for more accurate classification of pathologic myopia.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the risk between degree of myopia and myopic macular degeneration (MMD), retinal detachment (RD), cataract, open angle glaucoma (OAG), and blindness. Methods A systematic review and meta-analyses of studies published before June 2019 on myopia complications. Odds ratios (OR) per complication and spherical equivalent (SER) degree (low myopia SER < -0.5 to > -3.00 diopter [D]; moderate myopia SER ≤ -3.00 to > -6.00 D; high myopia SER ≤ -6.00 D) were calculated using fixed and random effects models. Results Low, moderate, and high myopia were all associated with increased risks of MMD (OR, 13.57, 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.18-29.79; OR, 72.74, 95% CI, 33.18-159.48; OR, 845.08, 95% CI, 230.05-3104.34, respectively); RD (OR, 3.15, 95% CI, 1.92-5.17; OR, 8.74, 95% CI, 7.28-10.50; OR, 12.62, 95% CI, 6.65-23.94, respectively); posterior subcapsular cataract (OR, 1.56, 95% CI, 1.32-1.84; OR, 2.55, 95% CI, 1.98-3.28; OR, 4.55, 95% CI, 2.66-7.75, respectively); nuclear cataract (OR, 1.79, 95% CI, 1.08-2.97; OR, 2.39, 95% CI, 1.03-5.55; OR, 2.87, 95% CI, 1.43-5.73, respectively); and OAG (OR, 1.59, 95% CI, 1.33-1.91; OR, 2.92, 95% CI, 1.89-4.52 for low and moderate/high myopia, respectively). The risk of visual impairment was strongly related to longer axial length, higher myopia degree, and age older than 60 years (OR, 1.71, 95% CI, 1.07-2.74; OR, 5.54, 95% CI, 3.12-9.85; and OR, 87.63, 95% CI, 34.50-222.58 for low, moderate, and high myopia in participants aged >60 years, respectively). Conclusions Although high myopia carries the highest risk of complications and visual impairment, low and moderate myopia also have considerable risks. These estimates should alert policy makers and health care professionals to make myopia a priority for prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Myopia, and especially high myopia, is associated with a number of posterior segment changes that are considered to be mostly a consequence of the increased axial elongation. This can result in mechanical strain, attendant vascular changes, stretching and thinning of tissues, and atrophy/deformation of tissues in later or more advanced stages. Such myopia-related changes are observed as changes and/or abnormalities in the vitreous, choroid, retina and peripheral retina, sclera and/or optic disc. Although many of these changes are benign, at times they may be associated with significant vision impairment that either requires active intervention or may suggest future progression of the disease. This review systematically addresses the posterior segment conditions seen in myopic eyes, describes the features associated with the condition and details management pathways.

Morphological Characteristics and Risk Factors of Myopic Maculopathy in an Older High Myopia Population-Based on the New Classification System (ATN). Am J Ophthalmol 2019; 208:356-366. [PMID: 31351050 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2019.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2019] [Revised: 07/16/2019] [Accepted: 07/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the characteristics, mergers, and risk factors of different types of myopic maculopathy (MM) in a highly myopic population. DESIGN Population-based, cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 1086 eyes (762 patients) were enrolled. Each participant underwent detailed ocular examinations. Combining the fundus photographs and optical coherence tomography images, types of MM were assessed as myopic atrophy maculopathy (MAM), myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM), or myopic neovascular maculopathy (MNM) according to the ATN classification system. Peripapillary atrophy (PPA) area, tilt ratio, and macular choroidal thickness (mChT) were measured individually. RESULTS Eyes with larger PPA area were more likely to have MAM (odds ratio [OR], 1.220; P = .037 per 1-mm2 increase) and MNM (OR, 1.723; P < .001 per 1-mm2 increase), and eyes with thicker mChT were less likely to have MAM (OR, 0.740; P < .001 per 10-μm increase) and MNM (OR, 0.784; P < .001 per 10-μm increase), whereas eyes with higher tilt ratio were less likely to have MTM (OR, 0.020; P < .001 per 1 increase). The severity of MTM and MNM was not precisely consistent with that of MAM. CONCLUSIONS Different types of MM have different risk factors; larger PPA area and thinner mChT are risk factors for MAM and MNM, whereas lower tilt ratio is a risk factor for MTM. Our results indicate that the pathogenesis of MTM is different from that of MAM and MNM, and a tractional component should be considered as a possible component to the myopic macular classification.

Correlation Between the Myopic Retinal Deformation and Corneal Biomechanical Characteristics Measured With the Corvis ST Tonometry. Transl Vis Sci Technol 2019; 8:26. [PMID: 31440423 PMCID: PMC6701875 DOI: 10.1167/tvst.8.4.26] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose We previously reported that the retinal deformation due to myopia was represented by the peripapillary retinal arteries angle (PRAA). In this study, we investigated the relationship between the PRAA and biomechanical properties measured with Corvis ST (CST) tonometry. Methods Thirty-four normative eyes of 34 subjects who underwent CST measurement were enrolled. The PRAA was calculated from a fundus photograph. Variables related to the PRAA were identified from age, axial length, spherical equivalent refractive error, and 10 CST parameters using model selection with the second-order bias-corrected Akaike information criterion index. Results The PRAA was best described with axial length (coefficient = −5.66, P < 0.0001), maximum deflection amplitude (mm; coefficient = 130.5, P = 0.0004), and deflection amplitude ratio (DA ratio) 2 mm (coefficient = −25.8, P = 0.0032), where mm was the amount of the maximum corneal apex movement and DA ratio 2 mm was the ratio between the deformation amplitudes at the apex and 2 mm away from the apex. The optimal model was significantly better than the model only with axial length (P = 0.0014, analysis of variance). Conclusions The PRAA was significantly better described with the CST parameters compared to the axial length model only; eyes with small PRAA (larger myopic retinal deformation) showed narrow and shallow maximum corneal deflection. Translational Relevance The Corvis ST parameters, which represents corneal biomechanical characteristics, were associated with myopic retinal deformation.
