“…The presence of lacquer cracks in peripapillary region justifies the visual loss experienced by the patient. Despite the high relation described in the literature between macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and visual loss in patients with pathological myopia, CNV was not evidenced in this case [3,6].…”

“…The accelerated ocular growth is followed by scleral stretching, that will result in the formation of the characteristic findings of degenerative myopia. The etiological mechanisms are unknown, but the influence of genetic and environmental factors has been increasingly recognized [5,6].…”

“…The progressive expansion of the eyeball leads to the formation of posterior staphyloma and degenerative changes of the sclera, choroid, Bruch's membrane, retinal pigment epithelium and neural retina. These changes result in visual impairment, changes in contrast sensibility, lower dark adaptation, visual field changes and electrophysiological changes [2,[5][6][7].…”

“…While some researchers postulate that vitreous traction has major contribution in MTM pathogenesis [ 16 , 17 ], believe that the extension of the eye axis and the formation of staphyloma may also be major contributing factors [ 18 ]. Our results agree with the second opinion as there was a statistically significant positive correlation between AL and MTM (r = 0.49 and P = 0.001).…”

Purpose:Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) was used to evaluate retinal and vitreo-retinal changes that occur in highly myopic patients.Methods:This prospective study included 472 eyes of 472 patients suffering from high myopia (> -6.00 D), between May 2012 and December 2015. All patients were examined, using Cirrus HD OCT (Zeiss Cirrus TM HD-OCT model 4000), to detect any retinal or vitreo-retinal interface abnormalities.All obtained data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 17 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) and the paired two-sided t-test. Bivariate correlations were performed between different parameters using the Spearman correlation coefficient (r).Results:Mean spherical equivalent (MSE) was -13.11± 4.35D. Mean axial length (AL) was 28.5±1.62 mm. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was the most frequent OCT finding; representing 33.4% of the cases, 13.7% of them were associated with macular traction. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between AL and MTM, full thickness macular hole, PVD with traction, and dome shaped macula (r = 0.49 and P = 0.001, r = 0.422 and P = 0.0001, r = 0.25 and P = 0.03, r=0.475, P=0.001 respectively)Conclusion:OCT is a valuable tool in detecting retinal and vitreo-retinal interface abnormalities in highly myopic eyes, and it can be used for follow up of those patients to avoid advanced retinal damage.

“…The remaining four eyes did not develop complications, although the thickness of the macula increased significantly. 40 In addition, Robichaud et al 41 published two cases where subtle macular thickening was found on biomicroscopy and OCT confirmed the presence of macular schisis associated with VMT.…”

Macular oedema (ME) occurs in a wide variety of pathological conditions and accounts for different degrees of vision loss. Early detection of ME is therefore critical for diagnosis and therapeutic management. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-contact, diagnostic method that uses infrared light, which allows the analysis of the retinal structure by means of high-resolution tomographic cross sections. The identification, localisation, quantification and long-term follow-up of fluid collections are the most important capabilities of OCT. Since the introduction of OCT in clinical practice, it has become an invaluable diagnostic tool and different patterns of ME have been reported. The purpose of this manuscript is to review OCT profiles of ME according to the aetiology and describe what has been reported regarding intraretinal features in vivo.
