The Morphological Relationship Between Dome-Shaped Macula and Myopic Retinoschisis: A Cross-sectional Study of 409 Highly Myopic Eyes.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical features of dome-shaped macula (DSM) in highly myopic eyes and its morphological relationship with myopic retinoschisis (MRS). Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 409 eyes of 409 patients with high myopia who had spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were included. The associations of DSM with the distribution of MRS and ocular biometry were evaluated. Results:Of 409 eyes, DSM was detected in 64 eyes (15.6%). The eyes with DSM were more myopic (-18.8 ± 3.9 vs. -13.4 ± 5.9; P < 0.001) and had longer axial length (31.7 ± 2.4 vs. 29.5 ± 2.5; P < 0.001) compared with those without DSM. A higher rate of extrafoveal retinoschisis (35.9% vs. 9.6%; P < 0.001) and a lower rate of foveoschisis (10.9% vs. 26.1%; P = 0.01) were detected in the eyes with DSM compared with those without DSM. In the eyes with DSM, MRS was detected in 30 eyes (46.9%). MRS predominantly affected the extrafoveal area (76.7%), especially the base of the dome (82.6%). The extrafoveal retinoschisis was most frequently distributed in the superior quadrant (52.2%). None of the eyes with DSM displayed fovea-only retinoschisis. The ratio of the height and width of the macular bulge was higher in eyes with MRS than those without MRS (0.05 vs. 0.04; P = 0.001). Conclusions:A DSM is found in highly myopic eyes with a longer axial length. MRS in eyes with DSM is more likely to affect the extrafoveal area, especially the base of the dome. A steeper macular bulge is associated with the occurrence of MRS.

Project description:BackgroundPrevalence of high myopia is continuously increasing, thus, patients affected with staphyloma are abundant worldwide. Assessment of the quality of vision in these patients is mandatory for a proper clinical counselling, specially when undergoing surgical procedures that require intraocular lenses implantation. Thus, the purpose of the study was to assess monochromatic higher order aberrations (HOAs) in highly myopic eyes with staphyloma with or without a dome-shaped macula.MethodsParticipants underwent spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, ocular axial biometry, dual Scheimpflug photography and integrated Placido disk topography, and Hartmann-Shack wavefront analysis. Five groups were evaluated: a low-moderate myopia control group (< 6.00 diopters, n = 31) and four high myopia (≥6.00 diopters) groups: eyes without staphyloma (n = 18), eyes with inferior staphyloma (n = 14), eyes with posterior staphyloma without dome-shaped macula (n = 15) and eyes with posterior staphyloma with dome-shaped macula (n = 17). Subsequently, two new groups (including all participants) were created to assess differences between myopia with and without staphyloma. One-way analysis of covariance was performed using age and lens densitometry as covariates.ResultsStatistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences in anterior corneal fourth-order HOAs were observed between the low-moderate myopia and no-dome-shaped macula (Mean: 0.16 μm) and dome-shaped macula posterior staphyloma groups (Mean: 0.12 μm) in younger patients (≤45 years old). The same groups also showed (p ≤ 0.05) significant differences for anterior corneal primary spherical aberration (Mean: 0.19 and 0.13 μm, respectively). In addition, anterior corneal tetrafoil was significantly higher (p = 0.04) in dome-shaped macula compared to no-dome-shaped macula (Mean: 0.18 vs 0.06 μm, respectively). When all participants were grouped together, significantly lower mean anterior corneal primary spherical aberration (0.15 μm vs. 0.27 μm, p = 0.004) and higher internal primary spherical aberration (0.04 μm vs. -0.06 μm, p = 0.04) was observed in staphyloma compared to no-staphyloma myopic patients.ConclusionsEyes with high myopia and staphyloma have less positive anterior corneal primary spherical aberration and less negative internal primary spherical aberration, suggesting that the anterior corneal surface tends to mimic in a specular fashion the posterior pole profile. This corneal behaviour appears to change in patients older than 45 years.
