The correlation between Myopia and intraocular inflammation has rarely been explored. The aim of this article is to review myopic changes induced by inflammatory diseases and inflammatory diseases related to Myopia, followed by a discussion on inflammatory choroidal neovascularization. Clinical cases are used to illustrate these conditions. The review does not include inflammatory conditions caused by surgical interventions employed for treatment of Myopia. Uveitic conditions that can induce a myopic shift include sclero-choroidal inflammation, lens induced Myopia due to steroid cataracts, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) induced Myopia, and transient drug induced Myopia due to sulfonamides and acetazolamide used for treatment of ocular toxoplasmosis and inflammatory cystoid macular edema, respectively. Most inflammatory conditions related to Myopia are conditions involving the choriocapillaris.These include multifocal choroiditis and/or punctate inner choroiditis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome and acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement. It can be hypothesized that fragility of the choriocapillaris due to particular anatomic changes due to Myopia, together with unknown immunogenetic factors predispose myopic eyes to primary inflammatory choriocapillaropathies.

It has been stated that near work can cause Myopia progression1-3 and carpet weaving is included in that frame of work. Carpet weaving is a meticulous and very fine handwork which is performed from a very near distance for hours and hours each day and for many years in life-time. A precise visual attention and concentration is needed in this job.

Background: According to the World Health Organization, Myopia is already one of the major causes of vision impairment and blindness. It is predicted to affect almost a half of the world's population within the next years. A lot of researches around the world have been performed on Myopia, there is no clear overview of these researchers. In this manuscript, we analyzed the main connections between the most cited researchers, to build a citation network to evaluate the impact of different authors, journals, and subjects in the field of Myopia control. Methods: A search using the keywords “ Myopia control” was made through Web of Science. Extracted data was analyzed using CitNetExplorer® software obtaining a visual evaluation of the most cited publications. A subnet analysis was made by adding the keywords “ Myopia control" AND ("orthokeratology" OR "corneal refractive therapy” ), “ Myopia control" AND ("soft contact lens*" OR "multifocal contact lens*” ), and “ Myopia control" AND "atropine” . The most important publications of the network and subnetworks were analyzed using the "core" function. Results: This study showed 228 references that generated 1087 citations across the network. 2013 was the most important year for Myopia control, with most publications and citations. Optometry and Vision Science journal has published the most cited papers. Regarding the authors, Walline ranked the first of the most cited articles on Myopia control. Conclusion: This study analyzed the associations between the authors, journals and subjects in Myopia control, highlighting the great importance of this area in the recent years. More than 50% of the papers in the network were published after 2013.
