ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the relationship between posterior staphyloma and dome-shaped macula (DSM) in highly myopic eyes.METHODS:
The clinical data were collected from patients with high myopia diopter, best-corrected visual acuity, axial length, fundus images, optical coherence tomography, and 3D magnetic resonance imaging. A DSM was defined as a convex curvature of the macula in one or both of the vertical and horizontal optical coherence tomography scans. The relationship between DSM and posterior staphyloma was evaluated.RESULTS:
A total of 123 eyes were included. Dome-shaped macula was found in 18 eyes (14.63%). Twelve eyes with DSM had positive 3D magnetic resonance imaging findings. Nine eyes had horizontal oval-shaped dome, and a band-shaped inward convexity that extended horizontally from the optic disc through the fovea could be seen. Three eyes had round dome, and 3D magnetic resonance imaging showed a round inward convexity of the macular area. Five inward convexities were the border of multiple staphylomas, five were the boundary of one staphyloma, and two were within a single staphyloma.CONCLUSION:
The formation of highly myopic DSM is related to the morphological change of the entire posterior segment.
