Abstract

Purpose: To investigate changes of the axial length in normal eyes and highly myopic eyes and influence of myopic macular complications in Japanese adults. Study design: Retrospective longitudinal case series. Methods: The changes in the axial length of 316 eyes from 316 patients (mean age, 63.8 ± 9.0 years; range, 34–82; 240 females) examined using IOLMaster with a follow-up period of at least 1 year were studied. This study included 85 non-highly myopic eyes (|refractive error| ≤ 5 diopters; 63 females; non-highly myopic group), 165 highly myopic eyes (refractive error ≤ −6 diopters or axial length ≥ 26 mm; 124 females) without macular complications (no complications group), 32 eyes (25 females) with myopic traction maculopathy (MTM group), and 34 eyes (28 females) with myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV group). Results: All groups showed a significant increase in the axial length during the follow-up period (mean follow-up, 28.7 ± 16.8 months; range, 12–78) (P
