(Summary description)Peripapillary Capillaries Changes in Myopia revealed by UWF full range SS-OCTA！ Research recently published in <Translational Vision Science & Technology> explored the effect of high myopia on peripapillary capillaries (RPCs) by using UWF full range SS-OCTA and analyzing superficial retina vascular density (SVD). By detecting the changes in peripheral SVD and the area of RPC, the results showed that high myopic individuals had significantly lower peripheral SVD and a smaller area of RPC corresponding to axial length and diopter. Early detecting the peripheral vasculature and structure might be beneficial in identifying some early changes in high myopia. And the area of RPC was proposed as a new biomarker for monitoring the progress of myopia. A 400kHz speed swept source OCTA (#BMizar, TowardPi Medical) was used in this study to achieve high-resolution 120° UWF OCTA images which can be used to detect peripheral retinal changes. Numerous vascular parameters, such as SVD, can be quantified in all sizes OCTA images with built-in software.
