Morphology and incidence of drusen-like deposits in peripheral retina of eyes with high myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine the morphology and incidence of peripheral drusen-like deposits (DLDs) in eyes with pathological myopia (PM) using ultra-widefield (UWF) fundus photographs and UWF optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images.

Design

Retrospective, observational case series study.

Method

We reviewed the medical records of 676 patients (1352 eyes) with high myopia (HM) who were examined in the Advanced Clinical Centre for Myopia between 2017 and 2021. The main outcome measures were the incidence and morphological characteristics of the DLDs in the peripheral retina detected by ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging devices.

Results

Sixty-six of the 1352 (4.9%) eyes had peripheral DLDs. In 5 eyes, the DLDs were found at the staphyloma edge. The mean age of the patients
