Peripheral Vitreochorioretinal Dystrophies in Children with Myopia

Myopia, especially high myopia, is a significant risk factor for the development of peripheral vitreochorioretinal dystrophies (PVRD), early detection and treatment of which is an effective method for preventing retinal detachment. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency and structure of PVRD, the need for laser coagulation of the retina in pediatric patients with myopia observed in a large ophthalmology clinic.
