Description
Haoru Li and co-authors track tiny blood vessel loss in severely nearsighted eyes in a 2024 study. Some such eyes grow a bulge at the back, posterior staphyloma, which can worsen over time. The team used a vessel imaging scan to compare flow loss rates in eyes with and without the bulge, following over one hundred patients for at least a year.
Bulge eyes showed faster growth in prescription, eye length, and back wall height, plus faster loss of small vessel coverage in two choroid measures. Starting prescription, wall thickness, bulge height, and yearly change in one vessel index predicted which eyes progressed. The results support vessel checks as an early warning tool.
