Abstract
Abstract Objective To classify dome shaped macula cases by their bulge height (BH). To analyze the characteristics associated with the groups formed by this classification. Methods Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study on 15 selected eyes with dome shaped macula and high myopia. Using Caillaux method and optical coherence tomography images, 3 groups were determined by their BH: low (50–350 μm), medium (351–650 μm), and high (>650 μm), and a study of visual acuity, axial length, presence of subfoveal serous detachment, and images by fluorescein angiography and optic coherence tomography, as main variables. The confidence interval was 95%. Results By using the chi-squared test, the study showed that a BH higher than 400 μm was associated with lower visual acuity, presence of subfoveal serous detachment, and greater atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium measured by disk diameters (p Conclusions The medium and high BH showed a positive correlation with the presence of foveal serous detachment and a lower visual acuity.
