Optical Coherence Tomographic Findings in Highly Myopic Eyes

Optical coherence tomography (oct) has enhanced our understanding of changes indifferent ocular layers when axial myopia progresses and the globe is stretched. thesefindings consist of dehiscence of retinal layers known as retinoschisis, paravascularinner retinal cleavage, cysts and lamellar holes, peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation,tractional internal limiting membrane detachment, macular holes (lamellar and fullthickness), posterior retinal detachment, and choroidal neovascular membranes. in thisreview, recent observations regarding retinal changes in highly myopic eyes exploredby oct are described to highlight structural findings that cannot be diagnosed by simple ophthalmoscopy.
