Axial Length 👁️

Rapid growth of the eye-ball is the disease of myopia or short-sightedness. Longer eyes have markedly greater risk of Glaucoma, Maculopathy, Retinal Detachment and early onset, disruptive posterior capsule cataracts.

By more closely monitoring Axial Length we are better able to look at long term risk as well as the effect our Myopia Control Treatment is having on the patient, and whether we need to intervene with multiple interventions for children with more rapid progression.

A wonderful discussion shared with me today from a patient around advancements in corneal diseases like Kerataconus and Fuch’s Endothelial Dystrophy. The hope is that it will prevent vision loss and the need for corneal grafts. RNZ

As someone who recently mixed up my pilocarpine with my phenylephrine on a podcast I can understand Trevor’s mix up with eye length and refractive error. Of course Myopia/short-sightedness is an issue of eye growth which we can prevent.

If things went wrong, the stem cells could turn into other cells - like for hair or teeth - instead of eyes.
