Abstract Introduction Myopia has become a big public health problem in certain parts of the world. Sightthreatening complications like choroidal neovascularisation membranes occur in up to 10 of pathological myopia and natural history studies show a trend towards progressive visual loss. There are long-term financial and quality-of-life implications in this group of patients and treatment strategies should aim for long-term preservation of vision. Case presentation A 56-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a best-corrected visual acuity of 6 6-1 in her right eye and 6 24 in her left. Fundal examination revealed pathological myopia in both eyes and an elevated lesion associated with pre-retinal haemorrhage in the left macula. Ocular coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein angiogram confirmed a subfoveal classic choroidal neovascularisation membrane. The patient decided to proceed with intravitreal ranibizumab mg therapy. One month after treatment best-corrected visual acuity improved to 6 12 .
