Using a combination of peripapillary atrophy area and choroidal thickness for the prediction of different types of myopic maculopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyse the topographic characteristics in macular choroidal thickness (mChT) and ocular biometry in myopic maculopathy and to explore the potential cut-off value for prediction of myopic maculopathy (MM).

Methods

All participants underwent detailed ocular examinations. MM was subdivided into thin choroid, Bruch's membrane (BM) defects, choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM) according to OCT-based classification system. Peripapillary atrophy area (PPA), tilt ratio, torsion, and mChT were individually measured.

Results

A total of 1947 participants were included. In multivariate logistics models, older age, longer axial length, larger PPA area, and thinner average mChT were more likely to have MM and different type of MM.
