Degenerative myopia: Tessellated fundus

In degenerative myopia, a tessellated (or tigroid) fundus appears due to thinning of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which reveals the underlying choroidal vasculature as a mosaic pattern. Red channel imaging enhances the contrast of this pattern, providing clear visualization of these structural changes. #DegenerativeMyopia #TessellatedFundus #RedChannel #RetinaImaging #ChoroidalVasculature #retina #oftalmo #ophthalmology…

Degenerative myopia: Lacker cracks

In degenerative myopia, lacquer cracks are breaks in Bruch's membrane that appear as fine, yellowish lines in the posterior pole. These cracks are caused by excessive axial elongation and can lead to complications such as choroidal neovascularization. Fundus imaging helps detect these characteristic lesions, essential for monitoring progression and assessing the risk of further retinal damage. #DegenerativeMyopia #LacquerCracks…
