Summary:-yopia is the most common refractive disorder. High .myopia affects 27%-33% of all myopic eyes inAsia.1,2 ;The pathologic myopia （PM） is the most severe vision-threatening phenotype of high myopia.3 It is also the second most common cause of choroidal neovascularization （CNV） in Asia. Unlike age-related macular degeneration （AMD） which mostly effecting elders, PM causes severe vision loss in young adults, resulting in a significant impairment of their working ability.4 PM has become the second leading cause of low vision and blindness particularly among those aged at 40-49 years in some Asia countries.
