Myopia magna with macular degeneration – high myopia with macular changes

Myopia magna, also known as high myopia, is a severe form of nearsightedness. It is often accompanied by a significant elongation of the eyeball.

Due to the increasing stretching, the retina, choroid, and other structures of the eye can become thinner and more susceptible to pathological changes. If this affects the macula, the area of sharpest vision, it is referred to as myopic maculopathy or myopic macular degeneration, among other things.

How does myopic macular degeneration develop?

In high myopia, the eyeball is usually significantly elongated. This stretching places mechanical stress on the posterior structures of the eye in particular.

This can lead to changes such as:

• thinning of the retina and choroid

• degenerative changes in the macula

• cracks in deeper retinal layers, known as lacquer cracks

• retinal atrophy

• pathological new blood vessel formation under the retina

• hemorrhages in the macular area

• changes in the shape of the posterior segment of the eye

These changes can increasingly impair central vision.

What symptoms can occur?

Possible symptoms include:

• pronounced nearsightedness

• progressive deterioration of central vision

• blurred vision

• straight lines appearing wavy or distorted

• difficulty reading

• problems recognizing faces and fine details

• dark or blurry areas in the central visual field

• changes in contrast perception

Possible Complications

Myopia magna carries an increased risk of various eye diseases. These include, in particular:

• myopic macular degeneration

• retinal tears and retinal detachment

• pathological new blood vessel formation in the macular area

• macular hemorrhages

• glaucoma

• cataract

When pathological new blood vessels form in the macula, it is called myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV). This can lead to a rapid deterioration of central vision.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Regular ophthalmological examinations are particularly important in high myopia. Examination of the fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are used, among other things, to assess the macula and retina.

Treatment depends on the existing changes. An existing elongation of the eyeball cannot be reversed. If pathological new blood vessels appear in the macular area, for example, Anti-VEGF injections may be necessary.

Homeopathy according to Dr. Banerji

In homeopathy according to Dr. Banerji, specific homeopathic remedies and potencies are used for different clinical pictures according to the Banerji protocols.

A regression of myopia magna or the resulting structural changes in the macula through homeopathic remedies is not scientifically proven. Necessary ophthalmological examinations and treatments should therefore not be replaced or delayed.

Important Note

In cases of high myopia, changes in vision should be taken particularly seriously. Suddenly distorted vision, new dark spots, flashes of light, "soot rain," shadows or a curtain in the visual field, and rapid worsening of vision must be clarified by an ophthalmologist immediately.
