Macular Bruch Membrane Holes in Choroidal Neovascularization-Related Myopic Macular Atrophy by Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography

Macular Bruch membrane defects belong to the hallmarks of myopic CNV-related macular atrophy. Since macular Bruch membrane defects lack photoreceptors and thus represent psychophysically an absolute scotoma, they are of profound importance for visual prognosis. As incidentally observed at study end, the prevalence of macular Bruch membrane defects may be lower if a previous myopic CNV was treated by intravitreal medical therapy.
