Ultrawide-Field OCT to Investigate Relationships between Myopic Macular Retinoschisis and Posterior Staphyloma

In highly myopic eyes, the sites of the MRS and staphylomas were spatially related to each other. Posterior-directed force in association with staphylomas, and an inward-directed force resulting from epiretinal membranes or vitreoretinal attachments, may act as causative factors for MRS. However, the exact mechanisms related to the development of an MRS are probably diverse and complex.
