Abstract

Worldwide, the prevalence of myopia has been rising dramatically, and it is estimated that 2.5 billion people will be affected by myopia by 2020.1 South-East Asia is now facing a myopia frequency up to 95.5% in young academics,2,3 but a rising trend has also been observed in recent European studies. The high rise also includes prevalence of high myopia (<-6D; axial length>25mm), which in particular is associated with severe complications, such as myopic macular degeneration and glaucoma." The absolute risk of severe visual impairment is 30% in individuals with axial length of 30mm or more.5,6
