Brief Summary:

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess efficacy and safety in patients with myopic chorioretinal atrophy.

The main question it aims to answer are:

• Percentage of changes in the chorioretinal atrophic area

Participants will be implanted one sheet of PAL-222 into the subretinal space through pars plana vitrectomy.

Researchers will compare non-therapeutic eye to see if the changes is significant different.

  • Patients with confirmed optic nerve atrophy
  • Patients with glaucoma who cannot control intraocular pressure
  • Patients with findings associated with myopic traction macular disease (apparent posterior macular tumor, vitreous macular traction, retinal separation, macular hole detachment, macular hole)
  • Patients with atrophy in all areas of the circle within 3 papilla diameter (4.5 mm) (9.0 mm in diameter) from the fovea
