Curtin, B.J.

Physiologic vs pathologic myopia: genetics vs environment.

Physiologic myopia occurs as the result of a correlation failure of refraction components in the normal eye. Pathologic myopia is caused by excessive axial elongation that primarily involves the ora-equatorial area and the posterior pole. Peripheral fundus changes and posterior staphyloma formation are ophthalmoscopic evidences of this process. Heredity is the basic determinant of ocular refraction, but numerous agents produce both temporary and permanent myopias.[1]
