A small case series observed this finding in patients with macular telangiectasia, AMD, diabetic retinopathy and scarring, as well as in eyes experiencing mechanical stress and fluid resorption.
Recent research demonstrates how this more accessible technique can effectively spot disease progression, enhancing clinicians’ predictive capabilities and guiding intervention milestones.
New research shows highly myopic eyes that developed this complication were also more likely to have vitreomacular traction, retinal arteriolar traction and greater axial length.
Researchers emphasize that neutralizing optical distortions is key to reliable vessel measurements, especially in studies of myopia and systemic health biomarkers.
Data reveals a 27.9% prevalence among this patient population, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and monitoring of its impact on vision health.
New research reveals that these patients have a shorter axial length, steeper cornea and thicker macula, and calls for ongoing efforts to assess the long-term impact on visual outcomes.
