Abstract
En face OCT provides accurate imaging of retinal abnormalities in high myopia and allows width measurement and point-to-point localization of alterations. Thus, it can represent a noninvasive way to detect minimal changes during follow-up. Posterior detachment in the absence of a macular hole seems to be related to vitreoretinal traction, staphyloma, and inward forces exerted by rigid retinal vessels and ILM. En face OCT-assisted surgery of macular holes could help to plan removal of premacular tractional structures.
