Macular Hole Associated with Pathologic Myopia

Main Article Content

Abstract

Pathological myopia can contribute to several maculopathies, such as myopic choroidal neovascularization and myopic traction maculopathy. Among the traction-related macular disorders, macular hole associated with high myopia (MH-HM) is one of the critical stages as well as an absolute indication for retinal surgery. In addition, the patients who develop MH-HM will experience significant central visual loss. Categorizing eyes with this type of macular hole based upon the presence of retinoschisis by using optical coherence tomography is necessary for both anatomic and functional success.
