Fig. 4.9

Myopia. The second most common form of CNV occus secondary to myopia magna. While fluorescence angiography shows only slight leakage at the border of the chorioretinal atrophy (red arrow), associated OCT reveals inhomogeneous material breaking through outer retinal layers with subretinal fluid (green arrow, a). However, subretinal fluid may also be present in myopic eyes with special configuration, called ‘dome shape maculopathy’ that is often only visible in vertical scans and not responding to antiangiogenic therapy (b)
