Myopia: Understanding

Myopia: Overview

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error characterized by difficulty seeing distant objects clearly. It is the most common in children and young adults, with a global prevalence that has been increasing, particularly in certain ethnic groups. The etiology of myopia is related to the axial length of the eye and the emmetropization process, which can lead to rapid progression to myopia in children with a large axial length at birth. The prevalence of myopia varies globally, with the highest rates in Asians, followed by Hispanics, African Americans, and Caucasians. The classification of myopia is essential for its appropriate management, with axial myopia being the most common type observed in clinical practice, caused by an increase in the axial length of the globe. Other types include meridional myopia, which is related to myopic astigmatism, and lenticular myopia, which is associated with changes in the crystalline lens. The severity of myopia is categorized as mild, moderate, and severe based on the refractive error. The prolonged use of digital screens among children has been linked to the increased incidence and accelerated progression of myopia. The prevalence of myopia in children aged 5–17 years varies globally and is the highest in Asians, followed by Hispanics, African Americans, and Caucasians. The high prevalence in adults has been attributed to the presence of the lenticular component.

The symptoms of myopia, or nearsightedness, include difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, which can lead to squinting, blurred vision for distant objects, and eye strain. Individuals with myopia may also experience headaches, particularly after focusing on distant objects for extended periods. In children, symptoms may manifest as holding books or digital devices close to the face, sitting very close to the television, or a decline in academic performance due to difficulty seeing the whiteboard or screen clearly. It's important to undergo a comprehensive eye examination by an optometrist or ophthalmologist to diagnose myopia and assess its severity, as the condition can be effectively managed with corrective lenses or refractive surgery.

The diagnosis of myopia, or nearsightedness, involves a comprehensive eye examination, which includes tests such as visual acuity assessment to measure the sharpness of vision, a refraction test to determine the correct prescription for glasses or contact lenses, and a slit-lamp exam to assess the eye's internal structures. Your eye care specialist may also inquire about your medical history, perform an examination of the inner eye, and measure the pressure within your eye. These steps help in accurately diagnosing myopia and determining the most appropriate treatment, which may include eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Myopia Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Myopia report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Myopia Emerging Drugs

SYD-101: Sydnexis

SYD-101 is an investigational low-dose atropine sulfate ophthalmic solution, 0.01% and 0.03%, designed to achieve efficacy, stability, and reduce discomfort for improved treatment continuity, according to studies on the treatment of childhood myopia. While published reports have shown low concentrations of compounded atropine to be effective, these solutions are limited by short shelf life and remain only stable if markedly acidified, which can also cause excessive burning and stinging in children, according to several studies on atropine for myopia. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Myopia.

MicroPine: Eyenovia

MicroPine is a proprietary microdose formulation of atropine used in our Optejet dispenser and product candidate for the prevention of progressive myopia (nearsightedness) in children. It is believed that Eyenovia’s delivery technology is particularly well-suited for this application and patient population, potentially enabling children to easily self-administer atropine medication while minimizing dose-related side effects. Eyenovia is evaluating MicroPine in Phase III program in its CHAPERONE study.
