Myopic Degeneration - Dry - Staphyloma Severe Atrophy 54-year-old man was seen in the office on 9/11/08. He is a high myope. He has posterior staphylomas. He has had gradually changing vision for the last month or two. He has noticed new onset floaters in the right eye starting about a week ago and is concerned about that because of his high myopia. VISUAL ACUITY: Vision OD is 20/40, OS is 20/50. IOP: OD 13, OS 14. The posterior chamber intraocular lens is in good position in both eyes with open capsules. EXTENDED OPHTHALMOSCOPY: OD: Vertical C/D ratio is 0.6. There is a posterior staphyloma/coloboma. There is a vitreous separation. There are no tears or detachments. There is pigment degeneration at 12:00 o’clock. OS: Vertical C/D ratio is 0.5. The nerve is a little difficult to assess because there is a posterior staphyloma/coloboma. PHOTOGRAPHS: The photos confirm clinical findings. IMPRESSION: 1. MYOPIC MACULAR DEGENERATION – BOTH EYES 2. POSTERIOR STAPHYLOMA – BOTH EYES 3. VITREOUS SEPARATION – RIGHT EYE DISCUSSION: I explained to the patient he has had a vitreous separation in the right eye. I warned him to return urgently should he notice increased floaters or shadows
