Abstract
BACKGROUND The choroidal vasculature supplies the outer retina and is altered in many retinal diseases, including myopic traction maculopathy (MTM). Choroid health is typically assessed by measuring the choroidal thickness; however, this method has substantial limitations. The choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was recently introduced to provide quantitative information on the vascular flow in the choroid. This index has been evaluated in a wide range of diseases but has not been extensively used to characterize MTM. AIM This study aimed to investigate the CVI across different stages of MTM and the influence of macular surgery on choroidal perfusion markers in different surgically resolved MTM stages. METHODS Eighteen healthy myopic eyes in the control group and forty-six MTM eyes in the surgical group were evaluated using enhanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. Binarized OCT images were processed to obtain the luminal choroidal area (LCA) and stromal choroidal area (SCA), which were used to calculate CVI in the form of a percentage ratio. CVI data were collected at baseline, one and four months postoperatively, and at the final clinical visit. MTM eyes were divided into four stages based on disease severity. The choriocapillaris flow area (CFA) and central subfield thickness (CSFT) were measured along side the CVI. RESULTS No significant differences were observed between the two groups at baseline, except for visual acuity (p < 0.0001). Surgery significantly improved vision at all postoperative time points (p < 0.0001). At baseline, there were no significant differences in CVI, CFA, or CSFT scores between the control and surgical groups. However, all three measurements were lower at the final visit in the surgical group (p ≤0.0001). No significant differences were found in any of the parameters among the four stages of MTM (p > 0.05). Ultimately, correlation and multivariate linear regression analyses did not reveal any significant association between CVI and visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS This study did not find significant preoperative differences in CVI between healthy myopic eyes and eyes with MTM. However, the postoperative CVI and CFA values were significantly lower than those of the control eyes. Thus, CVI may not be a good biomarker for surgical outcomes, as the correlation between CVI and visual acuity was not statistically significant.The CVI and CFA decreased after surgery, providing evidence of choroidal changes after surgical management.

Abstract
PURPOSE A new easy-to-place titanium macular buckle implant and the surgical technique for placing it in myopic macular holes are presented. A 60-year-old patient with pathologic myopia presented with macular holes in both eyes. The hole in the right eye was recurrent and long-standing since the initial diagnosis, which was over 5 years ago. He refused surgery for the better seeing left eye. The vision of the right eye was 20/200. The patient only wanted macular hole repair in the right eye if a macular buckle could be incorporated in the surgery. METHODS Because there was no commercially available macular buckle in the United States, a custom-made titanium buckle was designed and manufactured for this patient. In addition to the standard pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peel, and gas tamponade, the titanium macular buckle was placed externally to provide indentation over the macula. RESULTS The titanium macular buckle provided approximately 1 mm of indentation, shortening the axial length from 28.88 mm to 27.94 mm. The macular hole was closed postoperatively. Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 20/200 at 1 month with no complications from the titanium macular buckle implant or the surgical technique. There was no improvement in the final visual acuity, which was attributed to foveal atrophy because of the long-standing nature of the macular hole. CONCLUSION This titanium macular buckle implant designed for an easy placement could be an invaluable addition for surgical success in myopic macular pathologies, including myopic macular holes.

Abstract
Lamellar macular holes (LMHs) are a manifestation of myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM). Owing to the complex and multidirectional traction force in the elongated eyeball, the clinical features, development, evolution, and treatment algorithms of LMH in highly myopic eyes may differ from those of idiopathic LMH or MTM in general. This review aimed to specifically explore the LMHs in highly myopic eyes. Several developmental processes of LMH and their association with macular retinoschisis have been demonstrated, with the tractional component identified in all processes. Epiretinal proliferation was more prevalent and more extensive in LMHs in highly myopic eyes than in idiopathic LMHs. LMHs in highly myopic eyes may remain stable or progress to foveal detachment and full-thickness macular hole with or without retinal detachment. The predictive factors associated with disease progression were summarized to facilitate monitoring and guide surgical intervention. The treatment of LMHs in highly myopic eyes was based on an algorithm for treating myopic tractional maculopathy, including gas tamponade, pars plana vitrectomy, macular buckling, and a combination of vitrectomy and macular buckling. New internal limiting membrane (ILM) manipulation techniques such as fovea-sparing ILM peeling or fovea-sparing ILM peeling combined with ILM flap insertion could reduce the risk of developing iatrogenic full-thickness macular holes postoperatively. Further research should focus on the treatment of LMH in highly myopic eyes.

Abstract
AIM To analyze the global scientific output concerning myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) and to summarize the research frontiers and hot topics of MTM related researches. METHODS Data were collected for bibliometric and visualization analyses from Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection. Exported records were analyzed for titles, publication years, research institutions, journal names, authors, keywords, and abstracts using CiteSpace software version 6.1. RESULTS A total of 839 related studies were analyzed, the publication volume increased annually, with Asia the most active region of MTM research. Optical coherence tomography angiography, optical coherence tomography, macular hole, high myopia, macular buckling were identified as the focus of the current research. Progression, association, classification and shape were identified as the major research frontiers. CONCLUSION MTM is a major cause of visual loss in pathological myopic eyes. During the preceding 17y, the number of annual publications in MTM research increased gradually. Studies on the progression nature of MTM, genome-wide association study and proper classification of MTM might still be the frontiers of MTM researches.

Abstract
Purpose Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and myopic traction maculopathy are major complications of pathologic myopia, and myopic foveoschisis (MF) is one of several symptoms that can be included under the general term "myopic traction maculopathy"; however, only a few cases will have MF around the myopic CNV. We report three cases with MF around myopic CNV that followed different clinical courses observed using swept-source optical coherence tomography. Observations Case 1 was a 69-year-old woman with an axial length of 29.71 mm, myopic CNV, and MF in the left eye. One month after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR), a macular retinal detachment (RD) expanded. Vitrectomy and gas tamponade were performed during month 2; the macular RD and MF resolved gradually thereafter. Case 2 was a 54-year-old man with an axial length of 30.59 mm, myopic CNV, and MF in the right eye; after IVR, a macular RD developed and gradually expanded until month 4; the RD and MF resolved spontaneously and resolved during month 8. Case 3 was a 66-year-old woman with an axial length of 28.63 mm, myopic CNV, and MF in the left eye. A macular RD expanded 1 month after a previous vitrectomy for MF; after intravitreal injection of aflibercept, the macular RD and MF resolved gradually in month 12. In all cases, the CNV was accompanied by subretinal fluid, and two of the three cases had outer lamellar holes. Conclusion and Importance The MF around the myopic CNV may lead to exacerbated MF and RD during follow-up, and the subretinal fluid caused by the CNV might facilitate MF progression. Since this condition is rare, further investigation of this entity is needed to determine appropriate management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myopia has recently emerged as a significant threat to global public health. The high and pathological myopia in children and adolescents could result in irreversible damage to eye tissues and severe impairment of visual function without timely control. Posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) can effectively control the progression of high myopia by limiting posterior scleral expansion, improving retrobulbar vascular perfusion, thereby stabilizing the axial length and refraction of the eye. Moreover, orthokeratology and low concentrations of atropine are also effective in slowing myopia progression. CASE PRESENTATION A female child was diagnosed with binocular congenital myopia and amblyopia at the age of 3 and the patient's vision had never been rectified with spectacles at the first consultation. The patient's ophthalmological findings suggested, high refractive error with low best corrected visual acuity, longer axial length beyond the standard level of her age, and fundus examination suggesting posterior scleral staphyloma with weakened hemodynamics of the posterior ciliary artery. Thereby, PSR was performed to improve fundus health and the combination of orthokeratology and 0.01% atropine were performed to control the development of myopia. Following up to 8 years of clinical treatment and observations, the progression of myopia could be well controlled and fundus health was stable. CONCLUSION In this report, 8-year of clinical observation indicated that PSR could improve choroidal thickness and hemodynamic parameters of the retrobulbar vessels, postoperative orthokeratology combined with 0.01% atropine treatment strategy may be a good choice for myopia control effectively.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to develop deep learning models using macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to estimate axial lengths (ALs) in eyes without maculopathy. Methods A total of 2,664 macular OCT images from 444 patients' eyes without maculopathy, who visited Beijing Hospital between March 2019 and October 2021, were included. The dataset was divided into training, validation, and testing sets with a ratio of 6:2:2. Three pre-trained models (ResNet 18, ResNet 50, and ViT) were developed for binary classification (AL ≥ 26 mm) and regression task. Ten-fold cross-validation was performed, and Grad-CAM analysis was employed to visualize AL-related macular features. Additionally, retinal thickness measurements were used to predict AL by linear and logistic regression models. Results ResNet 50 achieved an accuracy of 0.872 (95% Confidence Interval [CI], 0.840-0.899), with high sensitivity of 0.804 (95% CI, 0.728-0.867) and specificity of 0.895 (95% CI, 0.861-0.923). The mean absolute error for AL prediction was 0.83 mm (95% CI, 0.72-0.95 mm). The best AUC, and accuracy of AL estimation using macular OCT images (0.929, 87.2%) was superior to using retinal thickness measurements alone (0.747, 77.8%). AL-related macular features were on the fovea and adjacent regions. Conclusion OCT images can be effectively utilized for estimating AL with good performance via deep learning. The AL-related macular features exhibit a localized pattern in the macula, rather than continuous alterations throughout the entire region. These findings can lay the foundation for future research in the pathogenesis of AL-related maculopathy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to quantify and evaluate fundal vascular changes at different severities of myopia using optical tomography angiography (OCTA) and explore their association with fundus changes captured by ultra-widefield (UWF) fundus cameras. METHODS Seventy-four participants with myopia were enrolled in the study and underwent basic ophthalmic examination, OCTA, and UWF fundus photography. Multiple parameters were obtained using OCTA (flow area, structure thickness, and vessel density) and UWF fundus cameras (tessellation and parapapillary atrophy [PPA]). RESULTS The right eye of 30 participants with low and moderate myopia and 44 participants with high myopia (HM) were included. Patients with HM had a larger flow area of the outer retina (FA-OR) and a smaller thickness of choroid (TC). Axial length was significantly correlated with retinal and choroidal flow area and thickness in the different zones. The PPA area was positively correlated with FA-OR and negatively correlated with TC. Tessellation exhibited different levels of correlation with OCTA parameters regarding the flow area, thickness, and vessel density of the fundal layers, mainly in the inner retina. CONCLUSION FA-OR and TC exhibited sensitive changes in patients with HM and axial elongation; therefore, they could serve as predictive OCTA biomarkers. The PPA and tessellation were connected to the vascular and structural changes revealed by OCTA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) are retinal disorder caused by traction force on the macula, which can lead to varying degrees of vision loss in eyes with high myopia. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an effective imaging technique for diagnosing, detecting and classifying retinopathy. MTM has been classified into different patterns by OCT, corresponding to different clinical strategies. PURPOSE We aimed to engineer a deep learning model that can automatically identify MTM in highly myopic (HM) eyes using OCT images. METHODS A five-class classification model was developed using 2837 OCT images from 958 HM patients. We adopted a ResNet-34 architecture to train the model to identify MTM: no MTM (class 0), extra-foveal maculoschisis (class 1), inner lamellar macular hole (class 2), outer foveoschisis (class 3), and discontinuity or detachment of foveal outer hyperreflective layers (class 4). An independent test set of 604 images from 173 HM patients was used to evaluate the model's performance. Classification performance was assessed according to the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity. RESULTS Our model exhibited a high training performance for classification (F1-score of 0.953; AUCs of 0.961 to 0.998). In test set, it achieved sensitivities (91.67%-97.78 %) and specificities (98.33%-99.17%) as good as, or better than, those of experienced clinicians. Heatmaps were generated to provide visual explanations. CONCLUSIONS We established a deep learning model for MTM classification using OCT images. This model performed equally well or better than retinal specialists and is suitable for large-scale screening and identifying MTM in HM eyes.

Abstract
The vitreous body is an anatomically and biochemically complex structure. Because of its proximity and firm adherence to the retina, researchers have examined the link between these two structures and how their individual pathologies might be connected. Several experimental and clinical studies have already demonstrated the important role of vitreous in the pathogenesis of retinal disorders. This narrative review highlights the role of the vitreous in retinal diseases and the improvements that have been made since the introduction of optical coherence tomography. This leads to a better understanding of vitreoretinal diseases and demonstrates its determinant role in other retinal pathologies, such as diabetic retinopathy or age-related macular degeneration. As we deepen our knowledge of the vitreous's structure, function, and abnormal conditions, we can better link the changes in diseases and identify effective treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term progression pattern of myopic tractional maculopathy and the risk factors. METHODS The prevalence and grade of myopic tractional maculopathy were assessed with optical coherence tomography at enrollment and at the 2-year follow-up. The severity of posterior staphyloma and the presence of dome-shaped macula were also evaluated. RESULTS In total, 610 highly myopic eyes of 610 patients were analyzed. The prevalence of epiretinal membrane, myopic retinoschisis, and macular hole increased from 26.7%, 12.1%, and 4.4% at enrollment to 41.1%, 18.2%, and 9.5% at the 2-year follow-up, respectively. Epiretinal membrane progressed in 21.8% of eyes, but visual acuity did not decline significantly in these eyes. Myopic retinoschisis progressed in 6.8% of eyes, and macular hole progressed in 14.8% of eyes. Significantly greater best-corrected visual acuity reduction was detected in the eyes with myopic retinoschisis or macular hole progression than the rest ( P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that longer axial length, more-severe posterior staphyloma, and absence of dome-shaped macula were associated with myopic tractional maculopathy progression. CONCLUSION In highly myopic eyes, long-term visual acuity was relatively stable in those with epiretinal membrane, but was significantly affected by myopic retinoschisis or macular hole progression. Longer axial length, more-severe posterior staphyloma, and absence of dome-shaped macula were risk factors for myopic tractional maculopathy progression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study compared the surgical outcomes in eyes with myopic foveoschisis (MF) according to the recently developed ATN classification system. METHODS This was an observational case series of 64 consecutive eyes that underwent vitrectomy for MF. Eyes were classified into severe myopic maculopathy (MM) (n = 43) and non-severe MM (n = 21) groups according to the ATN classification system. The primary outcome measures constituted best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and anatomical changes. RESULTS In total, BCVA improved from 0.97 to 0.53 (P < 0.001) after surgery. The ATN score was significantly lower in the eyes with vision improvement than those without vision improvement (P < 0.001). In the subgroup, BCVA improved from 0.79 to 0.28 in the non-severe MM group (P < 0.001), and improved from 1.05 to 0.65 in the severe MM group (P = 0.001) after surgery. The non-severe MM group achieved better postoperative BCVA (P = 0.001) and were more likely to gain vision improvement (P < 0.001) after surgery compared with the severe MM group. Anatomical success was achieved in 62 of the 64 eyes (96.88%). Two eyes with anatomical failure developed full-thickness macular holes postoperatively; both were in the severe MM group. CONCLUSIONS For patients with MF, different severity of MM based on ATN classification could lead to a significantly different prognosis after surgery. For patients with high ATN scores, the operative decision should be made cautiously for the worse anatomical and visual prognosis. ATN system is instructive in making operative proposals for MF.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the longitudinal change in the number of surgically operated myopic traction maculopathies (MTM) cases at a tertiary eye centre. METHODS A retrospective study of all consecutive cases of surgically operated MTM over 12 years (2009-2020) was conducted in a myopia prevalent region. We compared outcomes among three groups: (1) myopic macular hole (MH), (2) myopic macular hole with retinal detachment (MHRD), and (3) myopic foveoschisis with retinal detachment (MFRD). RESULTS Fifty-one cases were included in the study (8 cases of MH, 33 cases of MHRD and 10 cases of MFRD). The overall mean age was 63.8 +/- 8.7 with a female preponderance (2:1). The mean age of the MH group (58.6) was significantly younger than the MHRD group (64.2) and MFRD group (66.6) (p = 0.02). Subgroup analysis using ATN classification did not show its correlation with both visual improvement and anatomical success. When comparing the first 6-year period (2009-2014) with the second 6-year period (2015-2020), there was a significant increase in the number of cases (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION We observe an increase in the number of surgically operated MTM. This follows the trend of the global rise in the prevalence of myopia and baby boomers entering retirement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the progression of myopic maculopathy with or without vitrectomy in patients with myopic traction maculopathy (MTM). METHODS Seventy-seven eyes with MTM were classified into either the observation group (n = 38) or the vitrectomy group (n = 39). Progression of myopic maculopathy was assessed with fundus photography using infrared images. Progression within stage was evaluated as an increase in the area of atrophic lesions on infrared images using ImageJ software. The rate of progression was compared using the paired t -test. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 60.0 ± 47.5 months. The initial mean stage of myopic maculopathy for the observation group was 1.86 ± 0.86, and it progressed to 2.00 ± 0.83 ( P = 0.023) at the last visit. For the vitrectomy group, the stage progressed from 1.82 ± 0.96 to 2.05 ± 1.09 ( P = 0.011). Four eyes (10.5%) in the observation group showed progression at 87.3 months, and seven eyes (17.9%) in the vitrectomy group showed progression at 31.3 months. CONCLUSION Surgery in patients with MTM may accelerate the progression of myopic maculopathy. Therefore, care should be taken when considering surgery for patients with MTM.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report distinct structural changes following surgery for myopic traction maculopathy (MTM). STUDY DESIGN A single-center, retrospective case series. METHODS Patients with MTM who underwent vitrectomy and had persistent large intraretinal cavities and schisis were reviewed. The pre- and postoperative clinical findings and optical coherence tomography characteristics are described. RESULTS Five eyes of five patients were included in the study. Three patients had prominent schisis, and four had retinal/foveal detachment before surgery. All patients underwent fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling during vitrectomy and had improved vision at 3 months after surgery. Large intraretinal cavities were noted on optical coherence tomography at the first postoperative exam in three patients and 12 to 18 months postoperation in the other two. The median height of the postoperative intraretinal cavities was 704 μm (range, 445-1287 μm). Inner retinal breaks were identified in all eyes, of which four were located in the paravascular area. The intraretinal cavity and schisis remained stable during the initial follow-up for an average of 35 months; later on, at > 5 years after the initial presentation two patients developed retinal detachment and one patient underwent vitrectomy with the retina reattached postoperatively. CONCLUSION Large intraretinal cavities and schisis can be observed after MTM surgery, associated with paravascular inner breaks. The condition can progress after a long stable period; therefore, continuous follow-up is necessary.

Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the clinical features of peripapillary regions in patients with myopic macular retinoschisis (MRS) and its association with the development of retinoschisis (RS).MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, high-myopic patients with or without MRS were recruited, and the hypodense regions were analyzed in the peripapillary regions. The vitreoretinal adhesions around both macular and paravascular arcades were compared between groups. The risk factors for the development of MRS were analyzed by logistic regression.ResultsOf 88 myopic eyes, MRS was detected in 45 eyes (51%). The eyes with MRS showed a higher rate of peripapillary and paravascular retinoschisis (P < 0.001 and P = 0.006). Hypodense regions were detected in 25 eyes (20.35%). Higher rates of horizontal and vertical macular MRS were detected in the hypodense group (P = 0.012 and P = 0.002). Lower refractive error, longer axial length, and higher rates of outer retinoschisis both in horizontal and vertical macular regions were observed in the hypodense group (P = 0.012, P = 0.006, P = 0.038, and P = 0.034). Higher rates of inner and outer retinoschisis, vitreoschisis, and microfolds along superior vascular arcade were detected in the hypodense group (P = 0.005, P = 0.001, P = 0.014, and P = 0.014). Higher rates of internal limiting membrane (ILM) detachment, inner and outer RS were detected along the inferior vascular arcade in the hypodense group (P = 0.008, P = 0.001, and P = 0.028). Hypodense regions, the axial length and PICC (peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation) were significantly correlated with the severity of MRS (Odds ratio = 0.207, P = 0.010; Odds ratio = 1.399, P = 0.016; Odds ratio = 0.142, P = 0.010).ConclusionsThe hypodense regions were likely to affect outer retinoschisis both in macular and paravascular regions. It was a risk factor for the development of MRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the long-term surgical outcomes and prognostic factors of foveal detachment (FD) in pathological myopia. METHODS This retrospective observational study included 59 patients with FD (61 eyes) who underwent pars plana vitrectomy at Shanghai General Hospital between June 2017 and July 2018 with follow-up for at least 24 months. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and swept-source optical coherence tomography, were assessed. Preoperative myopic maculopathy was evaluated according to the ATN classification. RESULTS FD completely resolved in 59 of 61 eyes (96.7%). Mean duration of retinal reattachment was 12.10 ± 8.10 months. Mean logMAR BCVA improved from 1.34 ± 0.52 to 0.83 ± 0.43 at 24 months postoperatively (P < 0.001). Secondary macular hole occurred in 8 eyes (13.1%) with a mean period of 3.4 ± 4.1 weeks after primary surgery. In regression analyses, baseline myopic atrophy maculopathy (MAM) (B = 0.213, P = 0.005) and vitreomacular traction (VMT) (B = 0.292, P = 0.007) were adverse prognostic factors for postoperative BCVA. A more severe MAM revealed a delay in retinal reattachment (B = 5.670, P = 0.002). FD eyes with VMT (OR = 1.309, P = 0.003) or outer lamellar macular hole (O-LMH) (OR = 1.369, P < 0.001) were risk factors for postoperative secondary macular hole. CONCLUSIONS Vitrectomy was effective in the long-term for treating FD. Careful consideration is needed for those with VMT or O-LMH due to the high risk of secondary macular hole after vitrectomy. FD eyes with more severe MAM tended to have poorer postoperative BCVA and extended periods of retinal reattachment.

Abstract
Macular holes are a spectrum of retinal diseases that comprehends full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs), refractory/recurrent macular holes, lamellar macular holes (LMHs), myopic macular holes (MMHs), traumatic macular holes, and macular holes secondary to other retinal pathologies or injuries. There are various classifications of the subtypes of macular hole, and only in recent times researchers defined a common nomenclature, especially thanks to the evolution in retinal imaging, offered by new instruments like the swept-source OCT. The proposed therapies for macular holes are different and range from a “wait-and-see” approach to the vitrectomy, with different results in each subtype of macular hole. This narrative review has the purpose to investigate the available evidence in literature to give a summary of the knowledge about these retinal pathologies.

Abstract
Purpose This retrospective study investigated the patterns and risk factors of progression of myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) of fellow eyes after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) of primary eyes. Methods The study population comprised 153 patients with MTM in both myopic eyes who sequentially underwent PPV (2006–2021). Observation periods were from PPV of the primary eye (baseline) to PPV of the fellow (end). MTM was graded based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and the ATN (atrophy [A], traction [T], and neovascularization [N]) system. An increase in T grade was considered MTM progression. Results MTM progressed in 43.8% of fellow eyes during 34.57 ± 34.08 months. The progression of fellow eyes correlated with T grade of primary eyes (P < 0.001). Risk factors for the progression of MTM in fellow eyes were primary eyes in T4–T5, age at baseline <60 years, and fellow eyes with partial posterior vitreous detachment (PVD; P < 0.001, P = 0.042, and P = 0.002, respectively). Fellow eyes in T1/T2 at baseline progressed faster compared with those in T0 (P < 0.001); the annual rate of progression to T3–T5 of the T0 (T1–T2) groups was 9.98% (24.59%). Conclusions Risk factors for the progression of MTM in fellow eyes included PPV when relatively young, primary eye at high T grade, and partial PVD of the fellow eye. Personalized follow-up for fellow eyes should be based on the severity of MTM of both eyes.

Abstract
Ocular deformation may be associated with biomechanical alterations in the structures of the eye, especially the cornea and sclera in conditions such as keratoconus, congenital glaucoma, and pathological myopia. Here, we propose a method to estimate ocular shape using an ultra-wide field MHz swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) with a Fourier Domain Mode-Locked (FDML) laser and distortion correction of the images. The ocular biometrics for distortion correction was collected by an IOLMaster 700, and localized Gaussian curvature was proposed to quantify the ocular curvature covering a field-of-view up to 65°×62°. We achieved repeatable curvature shape measurements (intraclass coefficient = 0.88 ± 0.06) and demonstrated its applicability in a pilot study with individuals (N = 11) with various degrees of myopia.

Efficiency comparison with fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling and complete internal limiting membrane peeling for treating myopic traction maculopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore whether the efficacy of fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling (FS-ILMP) is better than that of complete internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP). METHODS This retrospective clinical study included 34 cases (34 eyes) with myopic traction maculopathy collected from June 2017 to February 2019. Twenty-three-gauge (23-G) pars plana vitrectomy (23G PPV) was performed on all patients. In the FS-ILMP group, 18 eyes retained the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of about 1 to 1.5 papillary diameter centered on fovea centralis, while in the standard ILMP group, the ILM was completely removed from 16 eyes. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central foveal thickness (CFT), and other indexes were collected before and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS There was no significant difference in baseline clinical characteristics between the two groups. CFT and BCVA were significantly improved in both FS-ILMP and standard ILMP group, but the postoperative BCVA of the FS-ILMP group was significantly better than that of the standard ILMP group (P < 0.001). Two cases of subretinal effusion in macula were recorded in the FS-ILMP group, and three eyes in the standard ILMP group developed macular holes after surgery. Although both treatments relieved the mechanical traction of macular fovea, the patients in the FS-ILMP group showed better clinical outcomes in various aspects. CONCLUSION These results improved our understanding of the clinical application of vitrectomy combined with preservation of ILM upon the fovea centralis, which might lay a foundation for in-depth study on the treatment of myopic traction maculopathy.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the levels of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in human aqueous humor (AH) and plasma (PL) of patients with myopia, and verify whether there is an association between these levels and their association with axial length (AL). Methods Thirty-eight myopic patients who received intraocular collamer lens (ICL) implantation were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Patients were divided into three groups based on AL with cut-off points of 26 and 28 mm. AH and PL samples were obtained during ICL implantation surgery. The levels of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 in the AH and PL samples were measured using Luminex xMAP Technology kits (Milliplex xMAP kits). The protein levels of TGF-βs in both AH and PL samples and their relationships with AL were analyzed. Results In all, 38 patients (59 eyes) were enrolled and divided into the three groups: group A contained 7 people (10 eyes), group B contained 22 people (37 eyes), and group C contained 9 people (12 eyes). In the AH group, we detected TGF-β1 (P50: 19.97 pg/mL), TGF-β2 (2446.00 pg/mL), and TGF-β3 (26.33 pg/mL); in PL, these concentrations were 8984.00, 523.44, and 210.47 pg/mL, respectively. The levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 in AH were positively associated with AL. None of the three isoforms in PL were related to those in AH or to AL. Conclusions The levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 in AH were more strongly associated with the severity of myopia than the types of TGF-β in PL.
