| Summary: | <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> To research of frequency and structure of the complicated myopia among patients with myopia refraction.</p><p><br /><strong>Methods:</strong> The myopia share was studied among all patients who have addressed in clinic in 2011. Profound survey of all cases of the complicated myopia was conducted, its structure and frequency of separate stages was analyzed.</p><p><br /><strong>Results:</strong> In total in 2011, 1516 patients with myopia refraction (3028 eyes) addressed in clinic — 16 % of all patients. Signs of myopia<br />changes of eyeground were noted in 2225 eyes (73.4 %). Age: from 18 to 82 years (men — 463, women — 660). The I stage took place in 57.1 % of the cases, II and the III stages — in 7.2 % and 11 % of cases respectively. The IV stage is noted in 4.1 % of eyes, the V stage — in 3.3 % of eyes. Morphological implications of the expressed visual acuity decrease were extensive myopia staphylomas, macular neovascularization and its outcomes.</p><p><br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Frequency of myopia made 16 % among all patients. 73.4 % of them had signs of various clinical implications of the complicated myopia, including 7.4 % with grave changes of an eyeground (the IV‑V stage).</p>
