Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research project intends to observe patients with high myopia who show pathological retinal changes, in order to evaluate more data on the risk factors for developing mCNV within this research project population in Germany.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

All patients

Patients with diagnosis of high myopia secondary to an anterior-posterior elongation of the bulbus confirmed by ocular examination in either eye using specific criteria.

Observation & Diagnosis

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

SD-OCT, fundus autofluorescence, fundus photography, optional microperimetry, ophthalmic exams (BCVA, optical biometry), blood sampling.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female caucasian patients ≥ 18 years of age
* Diagnosis of high myopia secondary to an anterior-posterior elongation of the bulbus confirmed by ocular examination in either eye using the following criteria:

* Ocular ultrasonography or biometry demonstrating anterior-posterior elongation measurement ≥ 26 mm
* abnormal change in retinal tissue by SD-OCT that are attributed to be caused by high myopia as shown in Table 4-2 of the protocol in the investigator's discretion confirmed by the reading centre

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with Diabetes mellitus of any grade
* Patients showing signs of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), e.g. drusen, characteristic changes in fundus (with shaping or extension of hemorrhages, fibrosis, exudative areas) in either eye
* Acute neovascularization (CNV or iris neovascularization) and intra- or subretinal fluid in either eye at the time of enrolment.
* History of inactive CNV in study eye. Inactive CNV of fellow eye is allowed if treatment was performed more than 12 months before enrolment.
* Any anti vascular endothelial growth factor' (anti-VEGF) or Verteporfin treatment in study eye and anti-VEGF or Verteporfin treatment less than 12 months before enrolment in fellow eye
* History of systemic anti vascular endothelial growth factor' (anti-VEGF) therapy
* Cataract that would prevent an accurate measurement of the axial length of the study eye
