Complications of high myopia: An update from clinical manifestations to underlying mechanisms.

also found that the severity of myopia was associated with an increasing trend of posterior subcapuslar cataract among Malay adults. 27 Further supportive findings from Haarmann et al. also quantified the risk, indicating that high myopia conferred an increased risk of nuclear cataract with an odds ratio of 2.86 and increased risk of posterior subcapsular cataract with an odds ratio of 4.55. 17 Our group further addressed the relationship between high myopia and dark nucleus cataract and reported that the odds ratio was 5.16 (95% confidence interval: 3.98–6.69). 28 As for cortical cataract, no epidemiological studies reported an association.
