Abstract

AIM: To study the posterior vitreoretinal anatomy in eyes with high

myopia and to analyse its various parameters with the

help of OCT.

MATERIALS AND METHOD: The study included 88 eyes of 44 patients with high myopia(≥6D) and were subjected to Optical Coherence Tomography. OCT was done to analyse posterior vitreoretinal anatomy, mean

total macular thickness, mean foveal thickness , mean total

macular volume and mean foveal volume.

RESULTS: Mean total macular thickness decreases, mean foveal thickness

increases and macular volume decreases in high myopia which

positively correlates with increasing refractive error.

CONCLUSION: OCT greatly

facilitates the study of posterior vitreoretinal anatomy in eyes with high

myopia to allow detection of subtle macular changes that are otherwise

undectable. OCT can be done in high myopic population who complains of worsening of visual

function to look for vitreoretinal traction and related macular damage.
