Abstract

High myopia is an important cause of low vision and blindness in the world, most of which are characterized by the prolongation of the axial length, accompanied by various degenerative changes of fundus posterior pole, especially in the optic disc area and peripapillary structures, such as optic disc tilt, optic cup and rim changes, chorioretinal atrophy, posterior staphyloma and intrachoroidal cavitation, and so on. This article reviews the optic disc morphological features and peripapillary structure changes of high myopia, in order to reveal the pathogenesis of high myopia and provide new ideas for finding more effective prevention and treatment methods.
