Factors associated with macular complications in highly myopic eyes with dome-shaped macular configuration
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Sep 11, 2019
Hocaoglu M, et al. - Researchers explored the links between macular complications and demographic, clinical, and optical coherence tomography characteristics (OCT) of highly myopic eyes with a dome-shaped macula (DSM) via retrospectively analyzing the findings of 90 patients (167 eyes) with DSM who had vertical and horizontal OCT scans between January 2011 and June 2018. In highly myopic eyes, a greater bulge height and thicker choroid with DSM can be protective against the development of myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV). The risk of developing serous retinal detachment (RD) is connected with a thicker choroid, a higher macular bulge (> 250 μm), and a vertical DSM pattern. CNV, macular retinoschisis, serous RD, epiretinal membrane, lamellar macular hole, and macular hole were specific complications found in this investigation.
