About this trial
The prevalence of myopia and severe myopia are increasing and will affect 50% and 10% of the population respectively. Severe myopia exposes an increased risk of glaucoma, cataract, retinal detachment and myopic maculopathy, a source of visual impairment.
To date, no European cohort study has been conducted to estimate the rate of these complications and to study the predictive parameters.
