Long-Term Natural Outcomes of Simple Hemorrhage Associated with Lacquer Crack in High Myopia: A Risk Factor for Myopic CNV?

Figure 3

Multimodal imaging of an eye with a continuous ellipsoid zone. A 52-year-old woman was initially seen on September 2, 2011, with decreased visual acuity and a fixed shadow in her right eye. At the initial examination, the BCVA was 20/100, the refractive error was −8.75 D, and the axial length was 29.7 mm in her right eye. There was subretinal hemorrhage (white arrow) in the macular area of the right eye at the initial examination (a). The late phases of FFA and ICGA revealed a simple hemorrhage (b and c). During the follow-up period, recurrent hemorrhage and CNV were not detected. At the final examination (June 2, 2017), LCs were observed in the macular area by color fundus photography (d). An LC passing through the central fovea was easily observed with near-infrared reflectance imaging (e). Because the ellipsoid zone (white arrow) at the central fovea was continuous (e), the final BCVA of the eye was still good (20/25).
