Staphylomatous thinning of the sclera and retina are among the numerous changes associated with the elongated eye of high myopia. We report a case of scleral and retinal transparency in high myopia in which ocular coherence tomography was used to measure retinal and scleral thickness in vivo.
Observational case report.
The clinical presentation and evaluation of a case of scleral transparency in high myopia are presented.
This case demonstrates numerous anatomical changes to the sclera and retina known to occur in association with high myopia. Initial evaluation by optical coherence tomography demonstrated a retinal thickness of 74 microm and a scleral thickness of 80 microm.
Optical coherence tomography can be used to measure scleral and retinal thickness in vivo in a patient with high myopia. It is not known at this time what precautions are necessary in such a patient should intraocular surgery be required.
巩膜葡萄肿变薄以及视网膜变薄是高度近视眼球变长所伴随的众多变化之一。我们报告一例高度近视患者巩膜和视网膜透明度的病例,其中使用光学相干断层扫描在活体状态下测量视网膜和巩膜厚度。
观察性病例报告。
介绍一例高度近视巩膜透明度病例的临床表现及评估情况。
该病例显示出与高度近视相关的巩膜和视网膜的众多解剖学变化。光学相干断层扫描的初步评估显示视网膜厚度为74微米,巩膜厚度为80微米。
光学相干断层扫描可用于在活体状态下测量高度近视患者的巩膜和视网膜厚度。目前尚不清楚对于此类需要进行眼内手术的患者需要采取哪些预防措施。
