HUMAN EYE:OPTICAL CONDITIONS
Emmetropia Ametropia
Index
Axial
Curvature
Myopia
Presbyopia
AstigmatismHyperopia
Parallel incident light is focused in front of the retina
Parallel incident light is focused behind the
retina
We get 2 focal points
![Page 5: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• EMMETROPIA
Parallel incident rays come to a
focus on the retina when the
accomodation is fully relaxed so far
point is at infinity.

OPTICS OF EMMETROPIA
![Page 7: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• AMMETROPIA
Parallel incident rays do not come to a
focus on the retina when the
accomodation is fully relaxed so far point
is not at infinity.
![Page 8: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MYOPIA (short sightedness, hypometropia)
A type of refractive error in which Parallel incident light is brought to a focus in front of the retina when eye is at rest. So far point is at finite distance.

AETIOLOGY
• Hereditary (Genetic Factor)
• Role of diet• Theory of excessive near work• Reading posture• Racial (Chinese and Japanese highest)• Environmental Factors
![Page 12: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MECHANISMS OF PRODUCTION
1. Axial myopia • Increased length of eyeball• 1mm=3D
2. Curvature myopia• Increased curve of cornea e.g. conical
cornea• Increased curve of lens e.g. lenticonus• 1mm=6D
![Page 13: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3. Positional myopia• Anterior displacement of lens e.g. trauma
4. Index myopia• Increase in ref index of lens e.g. nuclear
sclerosis in diabetes• Increase in ref index of aqueous humor• Decrease in ref index of vitreous humor e.g.
vitreous liquefication
5. Myopia due to excessive accomodation• Patients with excessive accomodation
![Page 14: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MYOPIA: REFRACTIVE vs AXIALRefractive Myopia
(Optics of the eye too strong)
Axial Myopia
(Eye too long)

CLINICAL VARIETIES OF MYOPIA
1. Congenital myopia• Present since birth• Diagnosed at 2-3 years• Common in children born with Marfan’s
syndrome• Mostly unilateral and anisometropic• Rarely bilateral• Usually 8-10 D and constant• May be associated with aniridia,
megalocornea and congenital separation of retina

RETINOSCOPIC FINDINGSDuring retinoscopy of a myopic patient, ‘against’ movement of reflex is seen as compared to retinoscopic light or streak.
Against movement is neutralized by negative or concave lenses.

OPTICAL CORRECTION OF MYOPIAOptions are as follows:• Spectacles and LVD’s• Contact lenses• Refractive surgeries• LaserOthers:• Visual hygiene• Prophylaxis• General measures
![Page 55: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
SPECTACLES• Minus lenses (CONCAVE) are used to correct
myopia• In high numbers glasses are not cosmetically
attractive and minify actual pt eye size for others
• Myopes are usually kept under corrected so that there accomodation is not stimulated. Otherwise, they will complain of Asthenopic symptoms
![Page 56: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

ORTHOKERATOLOGY
• Orthokeratology is defined as, the reduction, modification, or elimination of visual defect by the programmed application of contact lenses
![Page 67: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
• Orthokeratology uses hard Contact Lenses to remould the Cornea, to reduce or correct Myopic (short-sighted) and Astigmatic (irregular surface) errors of the eye.
• In some ways this is similar to the use of dental braces by an Orthodontist to straighten crooked teeth.
• The main difference is that if a tooth position is corrected for some months it will stay in the new position. However the Cornea is highly elastic, and always returns to its original shape.
• For this reason the lenses are worn nightly or on alternate nights after the ideal Corneal shape has been achieved and removed in the morning giving perfect vision without the need for spectacles or contact lenses.
![Page 68: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
• Once the desired level of V.A has been achieved a of retainer lens wear is initiated until cornea reaches the level of stability new shape cornea. Lens wear is then gradually reduced to the minimum, required to attain good functional vision through out the day.
• The amount of ametropia that can be corrected using orthokeratology is: –1 to –6 D myopia with 1.5 D of WTR astigmatism and 0.75 D of ATR astigmatism.

SURGERYClear lens extraction:• For myopia of greater than 15-20 D,
cataract surgical procedure is applied and non-cataractous lens is removed and intra ocular lens of calculated power is inserted.
Phakic IOL:
• IOL is also placed in A/C or P/C of phakic eyes to correct the refractive error.
![Page 71: Myopia lecture By Sumayya Naseem](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051112/5576780bd8b42aa6108b48f0/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Photorefractive keratectomy PRK:• Uses Excimer laser to change ant. curvature
of cornea.• Tissue is ablated centrally 3.5-4mm and
surface curvature is reduced.• After scarring, haloes, glare and reduction of
best VA are the complaints of patient.

• A mechanical keratotome is used to dissect through the superficial corneal stroma and fashion a lamellar circular flap of uniform thickness.
• The bared corneal stroma is reshaped using Excimer laser and hinged flap is replaced.
• Better than PRK because of little scarring and better correction predictability.

EPIKERATOPHAKIA
• This uncommon surgical technique creates a new corneal surface with a different surface curvature by attaching a lenticule of pre- shaped donor corneal stroma to the surface of host cornea.
• The eye is not entered and procedure is easily reversed by removal of lenticule.

KERATOMILEUSIS
• It is the use of microkeratotome to remove lamella of ant. corneal stroma which is then reshaped on a cryolathe before being replaced.
• High degrees of myopia till 15D can be corrected in this way.
• Keratophakia is developed as a modification of keratomileusis and is used for aphakia.

PREVENTION & CONTROL OF MYOPIA
• Many people believe that too much close work, such as reading or sitting too close to the television, causes nearsightedness. But there was little evidence to support this belief. However, one study suggested that people in professions that involve extensive reading have higher degrees of nearsightedness.
• With regular instillation, topical 0.05% atropine is an effective agent for controlling myopia progression in a majority of school aged children.

• Nutritional Factors
• Since the eye has a collagenous structure, it seems likely that the same nutrients which strengthen collagen might also be helpful in keeping the eye from becoming elongated. Calcium, magnesium, boron, silica, selenium, manganese and vitamin D all come to mind, as well as vitamin C. A strong ocular structure would likely be less prone to becoming elongated, as occurs in myopia. Low levels of calcium, fluoride and selenium were found to be related to increased risk of progressive myopia in an exploratory study.
• Vitamin E, can slow the progression of myopia in children. Myopia in children was also significantly related to lower consumption of protein, fat, vitamins B1, B2 and C, phosphorus, iron, and cholesterol.

• We should insist that our children use good lighting and good posture when reading, take frequent eye rest breaks during long study periods, and encourage them to be physically active.
• Environmental visual stress may be lessened by taking these precautions while reading: frequently stretching and moving the eyes and looking away from the reading material at distant objects, removing distance eyewear(-) or using reading glasses for near tasks.
• As it is usually hereditary in nature, so family marriages should be avoided.
