Dome-Shaped Macula Curvature: A New Quantitative Metric to Assess Dome-Shaped Macula Subtypes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To test a new quantitative metric focused on the evaluation of dome-shaped macula curvature (DSMC); to assess its clinical role in evaluating round (R-DSM), vertical (V-DSM), and horizontal (H-DSM) DSM types; and to examine its relationships with other ocular parameters.

Methods

Patients affected by DSM secondary to high myopia were included in this cross-sectional, observational case study. DSMC was calculated by measuring the base (chord length) and height (distance from the chord to the apex) of the DSM. These measurements were used to determine the radius (R) of the hypothetical circle representing the curvature of the DSM. Curvature (K) was then calculated as the reciprocal of R. In addition, we measured choroidal thickness (CT), best-corrected visual acuity (BC
