Myopia, Severe
Conditions
Brief summary
The prevalence of myopia and severe myopia are increasing and will affect 50% and 10% of the population respectively. Severe myopia exposes an increased risk of glaucoma, cataract, retinal detachment and myopic maculopathy, a source of visual impairment. To date, no European cohort study has been conducted to estimate the rate of these complications and to study the predictive parameters.
Detailed description
This study allows to describe the evolution of different ophthalmological parameters of a population of strong myopes during their follow-up for 10 years using multimodal imaging techniques of the retina. Prospective, longitudinal, multicentric, non-randomized cohort study with constitution of a biological collection. This study will include major and minor patients with high myopia
Interventions
The additioan acts in this research are: Fonctionnal phenotyping:Retinal sensitivity and fixation stability assessment using microperimetry, assessment of long-term fixation stability Structural Phenotyping: Anterior segment examination with OCT anterior Blood sample collection
