“…3,21 These findings support the notion that the pathophysiology behind the development of mCNV is predominately a mechanical problem, where the risk of neovascularization increases with worsening elongation of the globe and stress on Bruch's membrane. Moreover, the increased risk of mCNV among women supports the theory that estrogen receptor expression or other external influences of estrogen might enhance the development of mCNV.…”

“…5,[10][11][12][13] The prevalence of PM was estimated to be 3.1% in China 10 and 1.74% in Japan. 14 By contrast, prevalence of PM was 0.11% in the Netherlands 12 and 0.05% in the United States. 13 In the Blue Mountain Eye Study, the prevalence of myopic retinopathy and Fuchs spots were 1.2% and 0.1% of the Australian population, respectively.…”

“…[68][69][70] The researchers who conducted one longitudinal study proposed that eyes with a tessellated fundus initially developed lacquer cracks, which progress to develop patchy atrophy, and subsequently myopic CNV and finally macular atrophy. 42 Long-term follow-up demonstrated that progression of lesions developed in a significant proportion 19,26,28,42,71 of approximately 40% of highly myopic eyes. Eyes with lacquer cracks or patchy atrophy had a higher incidence of progression to CNV than those with a tessellated fundus.…”
