Retrospective cohort study explores ocular biomechanics impact on myopic maculopathy outcomes in high myopia.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between corneal biomechanical parameters and macular changes in eyes with high myopia.
Retrospective cohort involving 54 highly myopic eyes (≤−6 D) followed for 5 years.
Ocular biomechanics assessed using Corvis Scheimpflug Technology®, macular structure via SD-OCT, and function with Microperimeter MP-3.
Correlations between corneal parameters and structural/function changes were analyzed.
Foveoschisis associated with higher A2 deformation amplitude (0.371 vs. 0.333 mm, p = 0.014) and SSI (0.986 vs. 0.827, p = 0.035).
Staphyloma showed significant changes in highest concavity radius (7.13 vs. 6.17 mm, p = 0.002) and A1 deformation amplitude (0.150 vs. 0.132 mm, p = 0.001).
Correlation found: softer corneal parameters linked to less functional loss, while stiffer parameters correlated with greater decline.

Vieira et al. (2026) studied this question.
