Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy in Highly Myopic Eyes with Elongated Axial Length.

Conclusion and Importance: High myopia is rare in eyes diagnosed with PCV, even though choroidal neovascularization is a common cause of vision loss in myopic macular degeneration. However, even in highly myopic eyes, PCV may show signs of resistance to antiangiogenic medications. PMID: 29299080 [PubMed]
