  Objective  To observe the microperimetry performance of macular function in pathologic myopia patients. Methods  The clinical data of 90 patients (142 eyes) with pathologic myopia were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were asked in details about history, and take examinations of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive dioptre, eye axis, fluorescent fundus angiography (FFA), indirect ophthalmoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). According to the test results, patients were divided into non-pathological macular group (20 patients, 24 eyes) and pathological macular group (70 patients, 118 eyes). Retinal imaging and macular microperimetry were measure by MP-1 Microperimeter.The mean retinal sensitivities (MS) and fixation stability in the central 10 deg;, fixation rate and fixation position in the central 2 deg; and 4 deg;were determined.Results  The MS of pathological and non-pathological macular group were(16.39 plusmn;2.12), (10.80 plusmn;4.53) dB respectively, the difference was statistically significant(F=15.044,t=-9.314;P=0.000). Among 24 eyes of non-pathological macular group, fixation was stable in 19 eyes (79.17%), relative unstable in five eyes (20.83%); among 118 eyes of pathological macular group, fixation was stable in 45 eyes (38.14%), relative unstable in 52 eyes (44.07%), unstable in 21 eyes (17.79%), the difference was statistically significant( chi;2=13.56, P=0.000). The differences of 2  deg;and 4  deg;fixation rate between those two groups are statistically significant (F=5.773, 13.230; t=-4.110,-5.465;P=0.000) . Among 24 eyes of non-pathological macular group, center fixation occurred in 23 eyes (95.83%), weak center fixation occurred in one eye (4.17%); among 118 eyes of pathological macular group, fixation center occurred in 81 eyes (68.64%), weak center fixation occurred in 16 eyes (13.56%),eccentric fixation occurred in 21 eyes (17.80%), the difference was statistically significant (F=9.618,t=-5.773;P=0.000).Conclusion  Pathological myopia patients with pathological macular changes have decreased retinal sensitivity, decreased fixation stability and eccentric fixation points.
