Optic disc and peripapillary changes by optic coherence tomography in high myopia
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 5
Abstract
Myopia, a worldwide condition, is a multifactorial disease resulting in many ocular complications. Early onset of myopia has a great tendency to develop high myopia and pathological myopia later in life. The pathophysiology and progression of myopia is still unclear. Owing to its involving in visual function, optic disc and peripapillary change in high myopia can’t be neglected, and it may help in better understanding of the pathophysiology or mechanism of myopia progression. Recently, advanced imaging techniques have been developed, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), allowing for better detecting of optic disc and peripapillary change. OCT is a high-resolution and noninvasive measurement for detection of ocular structure. Herein, we provide an updated review of optic disc and peripapillary change in OCT image, including its characteristics and clinical significance. We also propose some problems needed further investigation.
