Peculiar arcuate scotoma in pathologic myopia—optical coherence tomography to detect peripapillary neural tissue loss over the disc crescent
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to detect peripapillary neural tissue loss (PPNTL) over the disc crescent in pathologic myopia. The retinal neural tissue loss located inside the disc crescent in pa...

Degenerative Changes of Retinal Pigment Epithelium-Bruch’s membrane-Choriocapillaris Complex in Form-deprivation Myopia in Chicks
An animal model of macular degeneration in pathologic myopia is very important in the study of myopic macular degeneration. Chick eyes are most frequently used because of their relatively large size, rapid dev...
