Evaluating the microcirculation of the dome-shaped macula and its complications in adults with highly myopic eyes by swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography. Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2024; 44:987-999. [PMID: 38685756 DOI: 10.1111/opo.13314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the microcirculatory characteristics of the dome-shaped macula (DSM), its complications in highly myopic eyes and to explore the factors associated with a DSM. METHODS This cross-sectional case-control study included a total of 98 subjects (98 eyes): 49 eyes with DSM and 49 eyes without DSM. The axial length (AL) of the myopic eyes was matched 1:1 to eliminate the effect of AL differences on the results. Choroidal (CT) and scleral thickness (ST) and other structural parameters were assessed by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). OCT angiography was used to measure microcirculatory parameters in highly myopic eyes. RESULTS Subjects with DSM had thinner subfoveal choroidal thickness (46.01 ± 13.25 vs. 81.62 ± 48.26 μm; p < 0.001), thicker subfoveal scleral thickness (SFST; 331.93 ± 79.87 vs. 238.74 ± 70.96 μm; p < 0.001) and thinner foveal CT (66.86 ± 24.65 vs. 107.85 ± 52.65 μm; p < 0.001) compared to subjects without DSM. The foveal choroidal perfusion area (0.72 ± 0.04 vs. 0.76 ± 0.04 mm2; p < 0.001) and foveal choroidal vascularity index (0.15 ± 0.04 vs. 0.33 ± 0.14; p < 0.001) were significantly lower in eyes with DSM. Retinoschisis (81.6% vs. 38.8%; p < 0.001) was more common in eyes with DSM. Eyes with horizontal DSM had worse best-corrected logMAR visual acuity than eyes with round DSM (0.34 ± 0.22 vs. 0.23 ± 0.22; p = 0.03). DSM height (98.95 ± 65.17 vs. 104.63 ± 44.62 μm; p = 0.05) was lower in the horizontal DSM. SFST (OR = 1.06, p = 0.04) and foveal choroidal vascularity index (OR = 0.711, p = 0.02) were significantly associated with DSM. DSM width (p < 0.001), foveal choroidal perfusion area (p = 0.01), foveal choriocapillaris perfusion area (p = 0.02) and parafoveal choroidal vascularity index (p = 0.03) were the most significantly associated factors with DSM height. CONCLUSIONS The microcirculatory characteristics of eyes with DSM differed from those without DSM. Microcirculatory abnormalities were significantly associated with a DSM. The height of the DSM was associated with decreased blood perfusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study used optical coherence tomography scanning and 3D reconstruction of the macular region in high myopia to examine more thoroughly and carefully the differences between high myopia-related macular complications with and without dome-shape macula (DSM) and to determine whether the DSM's fine structure has an effect on them. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the medical records of 345 eyes with high myopia who underwent an optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination. They were divided into the DSM group (69 eyes) and the group without DSM (276 eyes). Macular complications between the two groups were compared. The height of the DSM and the diameter of the dome base were measured. And then the association between DSM type, protrusion height and macular problems were analyzed. RESULTS Epiretinal membrane (ERM) and extrafoveal schisis occurred more frequently in the DSM group, but the was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of foveal schisis between the two groups. The majority of eyes in the DSM categorization had a horizontal oval-shaped domain. In the DSM group, there was no evident difference in the percentage of eyes with macular complications in the groups below 150 um and above 150 um. CONCLUSIONS OCT examination-based fine macular structure analysis reveals that DSM affects various macular problems in distinct ways. DSM could increase the risk of extrafoveal schisis and ERM while decreasing the risk of foveal schisis. The height of the DSM had no obvious impact on the prevalence of macular complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the longitudinal changes in the morphologic features of dome-shaped macula in highly myopic eyes. METHODS Patients with a dome-shaped macula and high myopia (spherical equivalent <-8 diopters [D] or axial length ≥26.5 mm) were retrospectively studied. The medical records, optical coherence tomographic images, and ultra-widefield optical coherence tomography images were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 113 eyes of 82 patients were studied with a mean follow-up of 122.32 ± 6.36 months. During the follow-up, the mean dome height was significantly increased from 181.51 ± 105.55 to 209.85 ± 130.84 µ m ( P < 0.001). There was also a significant increase in the axial length (30.83 ± 1.82-31.16 ± 1.86 mm; P < 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that the dome height increased more than 50 µ m in 78 (69%) eyes, decreased in 23 (20%) eyes, and was stable in 12 (11%) eyes. The change in the axial lengths was significantly greater in the increased dome height group than in the decreased and stable dome height groups ( P = 0.042). Multivariable analysis showed that the greater axial length change (OR, 8.73; P = 0.017) and horizontal type dome-shaped macula (OR, 4.14; P = 0.026) were significantly associated with an increase in dome height. CONCLUSION The direction of change in the dome-shaped macula height varies and 69% of the eyes had an increase in height, whereas 20% of the eyes had a decrease in height. The variations in the dome height may result from the difference between the deepening of the peridome scleral excavation and the changes of the axial length.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the clinical utility of choroidal quantitative assessment associated with the presence of macular neovascularization (MNV) or atrophy in high myopia. Methods The study was designed as a retrospective case series with two-year follow-up. We measured choroidal thickness (CT) and the presence and subtype of dome-shaped macula (DSM). In DSM eyes we also calculated the presence and type of choroidal deepening (CD). The eyes were categorized as Subgroup 1 (high myopia without complications), Subgroup 2 (high myopia complicated by MNV), and Subgroup 3 (high myopia complicated by macular or posterior pole atrophy). Main outcome measures were the detection of significant CT cutoffs associated with the three subgroups of eyes and the clinical impact of DSM and CD subtypes. Results Our cohort (190 eyes affected by high myopia) was categorized as Subgroup 1 (66 eyes), Subgroup 2 (72 eyes) and Subgroup 3 (52 eyes). Baseline CT values allowed to separate the subgroups with myopic-related complications (area under the curve = 0.85; P < 0.05). In Subgroup 1, vertical DSM was the most frequent (54%), with CD absence characterizing the 46% of cases. Round DSM was the most represented subtype in Subgroup 2 (49%), with 55% of sub-dome CD subtypes; in these cases, MNV resulted always localized in the fovea. Subgroup 3 equally shown horizontal or vertical DSM (53% and 47%, respectively), with 80% of cases showing peri-dome CD. Conclusions Choroidal quantitative assessment can categorize three high myopia subgroups. MNV subgroup is characterized by intermediate choroidal thinning and higher prevalence of round DSM with sub-dome CD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the characteristics of dome-shaped macula (DSM) in children aged 4-6 years with normal visual acuity using optical coherence tomography angiography. METHOD This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 19 children aged 4-6 years were included. The results of optical coherence tomography angiography images were analysed to identify and quantify retinal structural and vascular parameters in DSM children. The dome height, dome base, and sub-dome choroidal thickness were manually measured. Participants with DSM and those without DSM from our previous study were compared on these parameters. RESULTS Nineteen eyes of the preschool subjects with normal visual acuity showed horizontal DSM on optical coherence tomography (OCT). The DSM was significantly smooth and low in the children, and we did not observe differences between sex and age. Compared to the children without DSM, the average axial length was longer, and the average macular vessel density was lower in the DSM group, especially in the deep retinal vascular density. Additionally, the dome height was positively correlated with the sub-dome choroidal thickness. When the dome base/height was increased, the fovea avascular zone (FAZ) area was larger. CONCLUSION Dome-shaped macula was detected in the preschool children in the process of the emmetropization with normal visual acuity. The changes in macular structure and vasculature provide new ideas for further investigation into the characteristics of DSM formation.

Abstract
Pathologic myopia is a major cause of visual impairment worldwide. Pathologic myopia is distinctly different from high myopia. High myopia is a high degree of myopic refractive error, whereas pathologic myopia is defined by a presence of typical complications in the fundus (posterior staphyloma or myopic maculopathy equal to or more serious than diffuse choroidal atrophy). Pathologic myopia often occurs in eyes with high myopia, however its complications especially posterior staphyloma can also occur in eyes without high myopia. Owing to a recent advance in ocular imaging, an objective and accurate diagnosis of pathologic myopia has become possible. Especially, optical coherence tomography has revealed novel lesions like dome-shaped macula and myopic traction maculopathy. Wide-field optical coherence tomography has succeeded in visualizing the entire extent of large staphylomas. The effectiveness of new therapies for complications have been shown, such as anti-VEGF therapies for myopic macular neovascularization and vitreoretinal surgery for myopic traction maculopathy. Myopia, especially childhood myopia, has been increasing rapidly in the world. In parallel with an increase in myopia, the prevalence of high myopia has also been increasing. However, it remains unclear whether or not pathologic myopia will increase in parallel with an increase of myopia itself. In addition, it has remained unclear whether genes responsible for pathologic myopia are the same as those for myopia in general, or whether pathologic myopia is genetically different from other myopia.

Evolution of Dome-shaped Macula Is Due to Differential Elongation of the Eye Predominant in the Peri-dome Region. Am J Ophthalmol 2021; 224:18-29.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the mechanism behind macular bulge height increase in eyes with dome-shaped macula (DSM). DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS Eyes presenting with DSM followed up for a minimum of 1 year were examined using ocular biometry and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography at baseline and at end of follow-up. Axial length (AL), DSM bulge height, and central and peripheral choroidal thickness (nasal, temporal, superior, and inferior quadrants) were reported. Eyes were categorized into 2 groups for comparison: the "mini-DSM" group (DSM < 100 μm) and the "classic" DSM group (DSM > 100 μm). RESULTS Fifty-eight eyes (33 patients) were studied: 32 (55%) were classic DSM and 26 (45%) mini-DSM. During the mean follow-up of 51.76 ± 36.01 months, mean AL increased from 26.99 ± 2.94 mm to 27.12 ± 3.09 mm (P = .010) and mean macular bulge height increased from 235.88 ± 282.47 μm to 262.34 ± 317.15 μm (P < .001). DSM height change was significantly higher than AL change (P < .001). Mean peripheral choroidal thickness significantly decreased nasally (P = .008), temporally (P = .026), and inferiorly (P < .001). Mini-DSM eyes exhibited shorter AL (26.17 vs 27.66 mm; P = .027), greater visual acuity (0.169 vs 0.437 logMAR; P = .002), and fewer macular complications compared to classic DSM eyes. CONCLUSIONS Macular bulge increase in DSM is associated with eye elongation and overall thinning of the peripheral choroid. DSM might result from differential elongation of the eye predominant in the peri-dome region. Mini-DSM (ie, inferior to 100 μm) are characterized by slower evolution, better visual prognosis, and fewer complications compared to "classic" DSM.
