This observational case series presents three eyes of three myopic patients to illustrate the pathomorphologic features of the myopic macular changes using three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (OCT). The OCT system records the interferometric information using a Fourier-domain spectrometer method, with an acquisition rate of 20,000 axial scans/second, an axial resolution of 5 mum, and a lateral resolution of 20 mum. Three-dimensional images of the macular pathology and corresponding simultaneous acquisition of OCT fundus photographs were obtained for all patients. Three-dimensional OCT imaging using the Fourier-domain system has enabled unprecedented precise views of macular pathology, facilitating understanding and visualization of the pathology of macular diseases. This multidimensional view of retina structures will aid in early detection and monitoring of disease progression in the future.

Autologous Neurosensory Retinal Flap Transplantation in a Porcine Model of Retinal Hole.
Ophthalmol Sci
November 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Purpose: Autologous retinal transplantation has been successfully employed in the treatment of large and myopic macular holes that are refractory to standard surgical treatments. Patients transplanted with a peripheral neurosensory retinal graft have shown unexpected improvements in visual acuity. The study aims to investigate if neural integration of the graft takes place in a porcine model of retinal hole.

Purpose: To describe the efficacy and safety outcomes of NPB macular buckle (MB) in myopic traction maculopathy (MTM).
Methods: A monocentric, prospective cohort study of the naïve eyes who underwent MB surgery, alone or combined with vitrectomy (PPV) for MTM, using the new NPB buckle, between December 2022 and June 2024. The anatomical results, postoperative complications, and MB ease of use were analyzed as the main outcomes.

Purpose: To describe a new feature in pathologic myopia: perivascular patchy chorioretinal atrophy (PVCA) DESIGN: Cross-sectional study METHODS: 604 eyes of 312 highly myopic patients followed at Strasbourg University Hospitals were reviewed for the presence of PVCA lesions. Demographic, clinical, and paraclinical data (ultra-widefield retinography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography images) were analyzed. Controls were matched for age, sex, and axial length (AL).
