  1. Retinal and choroidal biometry in highly myopic eyes using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article iovs.org (Mar 12 2009) Ophthalmology

    Purpose: Morphologic changes of the retina and choroid are closely related with high myopia-related pathologies. We evaluated the morphologic characteristics of normal highly myopic eyes. Patients and methods: Thirty-one phakic highly myopic eyes with no posterior abnormalities in 18 patients (mean+/-SD age 51.7+/-11.4 y) were enrolled. Retinal/choroidal thickness at the fovea 1.5 mm superiorly, inferiorly, nasally, and temporally, and the choroidal curvature were measured in the 512x128 3D scan mode with spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Degree of posterior staphyloma was determined as the sum of the vertical distance from the retinal pigment epithelial line beneath the fovea to the ... (Read Full Article)
