OCT Optic Nerve Head Morphology in Myopia II: Peri-Neural Canal Scleral Bowing and Choroidal Thickness in High Myopia-An American Ophthalmological Society Thesis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize optic nerve head (ONH) peri-neural canal (pNC) scleral bowing (pNC-SB) and pNC choroidal thickness (pNC-CT) in 69 highly myopic and 138 healthy, age-matched, control eyes.

Design

Cross-sectional, case control study.

Methods

Within ONH radial B-scans, Bruch membrane (BM), BM opening (BMO), anterior scleral canal opening (ASCO), and pNC scleral surface were segmented. BMO and ASCO planes and centroids were determined. pNC-SB was characterized within 30° foveal-BMO (FoBMO) sectors by 2 parameters: pNC-SB-scleral slope (pNC-SB-SS), measured within 3 pNC segments (0-300, 300-700, and 700-1000 μm from the ASCO centroid); and pNC-SB-ASCO depth relative to a pNC scleral reference plane (pNC-SB-ASCOD). pNC-CT wa
