Distribution and association of visual impairment with myopic maculopathy across age groups among highly myopic eyes – based on the new classification system (ATN)

Abstract

The percentages of MM and related VI increased nonlinearly with older age, with a turning point at 45 years for MAM, preceding that of MTM, MNM and VI by 5 years, warranting future longitudinal studies to confirm. Different age groups presented different risk factors for VI. Timely screening should be in place for middle-aged high myopes.
