Specifically directed at staphylomatous eyes, this study statistically weighs the relative risks for development of conus formation, pigment epithelial defects, lacquer cracks, chorioretinal atrophy, and choroidal neovascular networks with respect to age, gender, grade of staphyloma, and other factors.

Apoptosis, programmed cell death, is now widely recognized in biology as a genetically controlled atrophic process. The investigators have examined this phenomenon in a number of human retinal degenerations, including pathologic myopia. Their illustrations and clearly written text make this paper particularly illuminating for the clinician interested in basic science.
