Characteristics of pathological changes of the sclera in high myopia and rela-ted regulatory molecules
High myopia is a refractive abnormality characterized by excessive elongation of the eye axis.The sclera,as an important part of the eye axis regulation,plays a key role in the occurrence and development of high myopia.In this pa-per,based on the domestic and international articles,the pathological changes and related regulatory molecules of the scle-ra in high myopia were systematically summarized from the features of scleral lesions in high myopia and the gene regula-tion and signaling pathways affecting the ultrastructure and mechanical properties of the sclera,thus providing a theoretical basis for the study of the pathological mechanism of high myopia.
