Objective: To evaluate the relationship between peripheral retinal lesions and axial length of the myopic patients. Material and Methods: A sample of 360 eyes from 224 myopic patients was examined at eye out patient department of tertiary care hospital from July 2008 to March 2010. Sonography was used for measurement of axial length of Eye ball and peripheral retina was studied by indirect ophthalmoscope examination and slit lamp microscopy. Chi square test for these qualitative variables with 5% significance was used for statistical analysis. Results: The average age was 45.32±11.34 years and the myopia was between 0.5 and 20 dioptres. The peripheral retina showed benign changes including pigment clumps in 128 eyes (35.55%), paving stone degeneration in 102 eyes (28.33%). Snowflakes degenerations were present in 40 eyes (11.11%) and white without pressure degeneration was found in 18 eyes (5%) of patients While 36 eyes (10%) of patients had lattice degeneration, and only 36(10%) patients had normal peripheral retina. Conclusions: Myopia is a pathological condition associated with peripheral retinal lesions and it can also predispose to various retinal disorders, so it important to diagnose early and treat these patients so that future complications can be minimize.
