Myopia and Some of its Complications

Abstract

This review article examines modern views on etiological factors and the pathogenesis of complications associated with myopic refraction. Domestic and foreign studies aimed at identifying the mechanisms of development of this pathology using modern diagnostic methods are analyzed. Also summarized is the literature data that myopia is characterized not only by changes in refraction and the relationship of the anatomical structures of the eye, but also by a number of pathological processes associated with impaired hemodynamics and hydrodynamics of the eye.
