Degenerative myopia and its consequences for the young individuals' vision is one of the health problems that the ophthalmologist faces. This paper assessed the principles of bioethics as paradigms for the current ophthalmologist and applied to the disease. The influence of the society and of the technical scientific development over the patients having this disease was taken into account together with the impact of myopia on the formation of their personality and on their relationship with the family and the society.

Keywords : degenerative myopia; bioethics; bioethical principles.
