PURPOSE. To evaluate peripapillary atrophy beta (PPA-beta) characteristics in highly myopic eyes, using simultaneous confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) and enhanced spectraldomain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).METHODS. The authors retrospectively analyzed 61 highly myopic (>= -6.0D) eyes without myopic retinopathy. cSLO fundus images were used to measure the distances from the foveal center to the temporal and nasal margins of the PPA-beta zone; horizontal cross-sectional SD-OCT images, to determine the position where the inner plexiform layer (IPL) terminates within the PPA-beta zone; and A-mode ultrasonography, to measure axial length.RESULTS. The distance from the foveal center to the PPA-beta zone temporal margin (2.68-4.39 mm) correlated with the circumferential extent of PPA-beta (P < 0.001, r = -0.49). The distance from the foveal center to the nasal margin (3.41-5.60 mm) correlated with the ovality index of the optic disc (P < 0.001, r = -0.51) and with the axial length (P < 0.05, r = 0.26). PPA-beta zone width (0.20 -2.05 mm) correlated with the circumferential extent of PPA-beta (P < 0.001, r = 0.42), ovality index of the optic disc (P < 0.001, r = -0.68), and axial length (P < 0.05, r = 0.32). The IPL termination within the PPA-beta zone was significantly closer to the optic disc when the circumferential extent of PPA-beta was large (P < 0.01, r = 0.36).CONCLUSIONS. Interindividual variations in biometric features of PPA-beta in highly myopic eyes showed different associations with axial length, degree of disc ovality, and circumferential extent of PPA-beta.
