In degenerative myopia, situs inversus refers to the tilted insertion of the optic disc, commonly associated with retinal and choroidal changes. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) B-scan often shows tilted scans due to the oblique orientation of posterior pole structures. This tilting can distort retinal layer visualization, requiring careful interpretation to assess associated pathologies like staphyloma, choroidal thinning, or macular neovascularization.

Myopic macular neovascularization (MNV) located in the superior parafoveal region can be effectively treated with anti-VEGF therapy. After treatment, the lesion appears as an area of hypoautofluorescence on fundus autofluorescence (FAF), indicating resolution of neovascular activity and associated damage to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). FAF is a useful tool for monitoring post-treatment changes.

In degenerative myopia, lacquer cracks are breaks in Bruch’s membrane that appear as fine, yellowish lines in the posterior pole. These cracks are caused by excessive axial elongation and can lead to complications such as choroidal neovascularization. Fundus imaging helps detect these characteristic lesions, essential for monitoring progression and assessing the risk of further retinal damage.

Pathologic myopia with a macular hole can lead to significant visual impairment. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) often shows a mirroring artifact due to the increased curvature of the posterior pole structures. This artifact complicates the assessment, but careful analysis can still provide valuable information about the extent and impact of the macular hole.

Pathologic myopia presents distinctive features on Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) imaging. Blue FAF shows moderate hyperautofluorescence in the region of the posterior staphyloma, while green FAF reveals marked hypoautofluorescence in areas corresponding to chorioretinal atrophy plaques. These differences highlight various aspects of retinal and choroidal changes in pathologic myopia.

Pathologic myopia is a severe form of nearsightedness associated with structural changes in the eye, such as scleral thinning and staphyloma. These alterations increase the eye’s curvature, often causing mirroring artifacts in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans. These artifacts can complicate the interpretation of retinal and choroidal structures, necessitating careful adjustment and analysis to accurately assess retinal health. Pathologic myopia significantly increases the risk of macular holes due to excessive axial elongation and retinal stretching. These full-thickness breaks in the macula can lead to severe vision loss. Surgical intervention, such as vitrectomy, is often required to close the hole and restore visual function. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent further complications associated with macular holes in highly myopic eyes.

Myopic neovascularization, linked to high myopia, shows distinctive features across multiple imaging modalities. OCT reveals subretinal neovascular membranes with fluid. Fluorescein angiography highlights leakage from these membranes, while OCT angiography provides detailed vascular imaging without dye use, critical for precise treatment planning.
