Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomographic Findings in Myopic Foveoschisis
Explore Article LWW Online (Apr 16 2010)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of various scan modes of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for detecting pathologies that may accompany myopic foveoschisis, which is important for making surgical decisions and planning surgical strategies for myopic foveoschisis. Methods: Twenty-one eyes of 18 patients were diagnosed with myopic foveoschisis by SD-OCT. Patients were examined with SD-OCT using both a five-line raster scan and a three-dimensional scan at the same visit. The detection rates of pathologies such as macular hole, epiretinal membrane, retinal vascular microfolds, internal limiting membrane detachment, paravascular microhole, and photoreceptor inner and outer ...

Retinal and choroidal biometry in highly myopic eyes using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography
Explore Article iovs.org (Mar 12 2009)
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)
