“…In the same study, FA and ICG angiography detected CNV in a similar number of cases [105]. ICG may also allow a more precise CNV localization and feeder vessel detection [104,105,106]. …”

“…However, when large hemorrhages are present, ICG angiography may better identify the CNV as a faint hyperfluorescence spot or area often surrounded by a hypopigmented halo. ICG also allows a better definition of lacquer cracks than FA [103,104]. This was confirmed by Axer-Siegel et al [105] showing that ICG angiography was able to identify lacquer cracks in 89% of eyes with pathological myopia, compared with 28% using FA.…”

Pathological myopia is a major cause of irreversible vision loss and is the fourth to ninth most frequent cause of blindness in the world. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to pathological myopia is the leading cause of vision impairment in patients younger than 50 years. New scientific contributions have been made to the understanding of high myopia and associated CNV. New treatments have been used in recent years, and the results are still controversial. This paper is an updated review of pathological myopia – its definition and progression, epidemiology and genetics – and a review of myopic CNV including the natural history, epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenic mechanisms and treatment.

Pathologic myopia (PM) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment worldwide. The pathophysiology of PM is not fully understood, but the axial elongation of the eye followed by chorioretinal thinning is suggested as a key mechanism. Pathologic myopia may lead to many complications such as chorioretinal atrophy, foveoschisis, choroidal neovascularization, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, cataract, and glaucoma. Some complications affect visual acuity significantly, showing poor visual prognosis. This article aims to review the types, pathophysiology, treatment, and visual outcome of the complications of PM.

“…5,14 However, dye allergy is a concern when ICGA is used to detect lacquer cracks in highly myopic eyes. Multimodal confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) has recently become increasingly popular, and fundus autofluorescence (FAF), near-infrared reflectance (NIR), and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging are noninvasive tests that can be used to visualize the pathological features of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), retina, and choroid.…”

Purpose To compare multimodal imaging in detecting lacquer cracks in highly myopic eyes, and to correlate these findings with those of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods An observational case series study. Patients with a refractive error worse than À 8 diopters and lacquer cracks were recruited. The rates of detection of the lacquer cracks using multimodal imaging including near-infrared reflectance (NIR) imaging, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging, and fluorescence angiography (FA) were compared. The characteristic findings of multimodal imaging were correlated with those of SD-OCT. Results NIR imaging was more sensitive (92.9%) in detecting lacquer cracks than either FAF (12.5%) or FA (67.9%). Lacquer cracks showed hyperreflectance on NIR, and they were consistently associated with a continuous retinal pigment epitheliumBruch's membrane complex, thinner choroid, and acoustic shadows on SD-OCT. Conclusions NIR imaging is superior to blue laser light (FAF and FA) imaging in detecting lacquer cracks. SD-OCT in combination with NIR located primary pathological lacquer cracks in the intact retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch's membrane complex as well as thinner choroid. These findings indicate that multimodal cSLO and SD-OCT imaging allow for detecting of lacquer cracks in highly myopic eyes.
