Clinical Scorecard: Distinctive Liver Function in Individuals with High Myopia: Links to Myopic Macular Degeneration
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
Key Mechanisms
Target Population
Patients diagnosed with high myopia (AL ≥ 26 mm) and emmetropia (AL 21-24.49 mm; define emmetropia).
Care Setting
Key Highlights
High myopia is associated with severe ocular complications, including cataract, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration (provide examples).
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Management
Monitoring & Follow-up
Regular assessment of serum liver function and lipid profiles (specify frequency, e.g., every 6 months).
Risks
Patient & Prescribing Data
Few effective methods for preventing and controlling complications in high myopia have been identified; implications for clinical practice should be discussed.
Clinical Best Practices
Conduct regular liver function tests in patients with high myopia and recommend lifestyle modifications.
US claims data showed rising prevalence of diabetic retinal disease in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, while incidence declined in type 1 diabetes and moved closer to type 2 rates by 2022.
