Detection of Paravascular Lamellar Holes and Other Paravascular Abnormalities by Optical Coherence Tomography in Eyes with High Myopia

These findings indicate that different types of paravascular abnormalities are relatively common in highly myopic eyes. Our findings suggest that paravascular lamellar holes form when the inner wall of paravascular retinal cysts is avulsed by vitreous traction. The presence of paravascular lamellar holes might enhance the proliferative response of the ILM, and this might be an important causative factor for the development of a macular retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes.
