Relationship between the structure and microcirculation of the optic disc region and myopic traction maculopathy in highly myopic eyes.
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology 2023 November 13
PURPOSE: To explore the characteristics and influencing factors structural and microcirculatory of optic disc and peripapillary tissue in eyes with myopia traction maculopathy (MTM).
METHODS: There were 100 eyes from 77 patients in this study. We used 1:1 matching axial length in myopic eyes. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of MTM. Fundus structure parameters were obtained by swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and the optic disc microcirculation parameters were obtained by OCT angiography (OCTA).
RESULTS: MTM group were older (P = 0.001) and had poorer Best-corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) (P = 0.011), the optic disc-fovea distance (DFD) was longer (P < 0.019), optic disc tilt was greater (P < 0.001), area of peripapillary atrophy (PPA) was larger (P < 0.001), and PPA/optical disc area (ONH) was higher (P < 0.001). The peripapillary scleral thickness (PST) was lower in the MTM group (P < 0.001). The mean peripapillary choroidal thickness (PCT) (P < 0.001) and PCT in the 10 orientations were significantly lower in the MTM group than in the NMTM group (all P < 0.01). Vascular density in the nasosuperior (NS) region of the optic disc was significantly lower in the MTM group (P = 0.037). The generalized estimating equation suggested that PPA area (P = 0.028), mean PCT (P = 0.008), superior PCT (P = 0.027), inferonasal PCT (P = 0.040), temporoinferior PCT (P = 0.013), and PST (P = 0.046) correlated with MTM. Age, axial length, optic disc tilt, PPA area, mean PCT, and optic disc central zone (0-2 mm) vascular density (all P < 0.05) were significantly correlated with PST.
CONCLUSIONS: The enlarged PPA area and thinner PCT and PST in eyes with MTM are more significant. Lower PST in high myopia was related to abnormalities of PCT and microcirculation.
