Myopic traction maculopathy in fovea-involved myopic chorioretinal atrophy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess the specific features of myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) in the context of myopic macular atrophy (MA). The evolution, surgical considerations, optimal surgical procedures, and results were studied.

Methods
