Abdurakhmanova D.A. , Andijan State Medical InstituteAbstract
Myopic macular degeneration (myopic maculopathy) is a complex of potentially coexisting degenerative changes in the macular region associated with myopia, including atrophic (mosaic changes, focal and diffuse chorioretinal atrophy, mHNV-associated atrophy), traction (myopic traction maculopathy) and neovascular (mHNV and its outcomes) components. It is considered as the most serious, irreversible, vision-threatening complication and the leading cause of bilateral visual impairment and blindness due to myopia.
