Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This observational case series presents three eyes of three myopic patients to illustrate the pathomorphologic features of the myopic macular changes using three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (OCT). The OCT system records the interferometric information using a Fourier-domain spectrometer method, with an acquisition rate of 20,000 axial scans/second, an axial resolution of 5 mum, and a lateral resolution of 20 mum. Three-dimensional images of the macular pathology and corresponding simultaneous acquisition of OCT fundus photographs were obtained for all patients. Three-dimensional OCT imaging using the Fourier-domain system has enabled unprecedented precise views of macular pathology, facilitating understanding and visualization of the pathology of macular diseases. This multidimensional view of retina structures will aid in early detection and monitoring of disease progression in the future.
