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

Figure 4

Multimodal imaging of an eye with a discontinuous ellipsoid zone. A 40-year-old woman was initially seen on December 3, 2013, with decreased visual acuity in her left eye. At the initial examination, the BCVA was 5/100, the refractive error was −16.5 D, and the axial length was 27.37 mm in her left eye. An obvious subretinal hemorrhage (white arrow) was observed in the macular area at the initial examination (a). The late phase of FFA indicated that it was a simple hemorrhage (white arrow) (b). SD-OCT showed that the hemorrhage (white arrow) was thick and reached beyond the ellipsoid zone (c). After 3 years of follow-up, no recurrent hemorrhage or CNV occurred. Because the ellipsoid zone (white arrow) at the central fovea was not continuous (e), the final BCVA of the eye was poor (20/100).
