Abstract
The formation of a myopic crescent is accompanied by loss of metabolic activity in the cortex supplied by the affected retina. This observation confirms that retinal tissue is damaged by the development of a myopic crescent, rather than simply translocated in a temporal direction. The cortical defect matches the myopic peripapillary crescent in size and shape, indicating that fill-in of the retinotopic map by healthy, surrounding retina does not occur.
