Methods:From 2002.6-2003.12, the highly myopic eyes(>6D) which has macular schisis found by OCT at our hospital were included in the study. Each eye then received further examinations including visual acuity,refractive error and ultra-sonography. Then the results were analyzed to find the characteristic of the entity. Results:During that period, OCT found macular schisis in 38 highly myopic eyes from 36 patients. Their vision was low, and their average axial length and refractive error were 29.6mm and -10.5D respectively. The appearance and the area of the schisis are different among the eyes. But the schisis can be largely divided into two types: inner and outer schisis. They can exit independently or concurrently in the same eye. And the schisis was often accompanied by other macular findings, like retinal detachment, macular hole. Conclusion:Macular schisis in highly myopic eyes is not uncommon in the clinic. OCT is useful in its diagnosis.展开更多
