Acquired Optic Nerve and Peripapillary Pits in Pathologic Myopia

Purpose To examine the incidence and characteristics of pit-like structures around the optic disc and myopic conus in eyes with high myopia. Design Prospective, observational case series. Participants We evaluated 198 eyes of 119 patients with pathologic myopia (spherical equivalent >−8 diopters [D]). We also evaluated 32 eyes of 32 subjects with emmetropia (refractive error ≤±3 D) as controls. Methods The papillary and peripapillary areas were...
