Abstract

Myopic traction maculopathy, also known as myopic foveoschisis is seen in patients with pathological myopia due to differential
stretching of the retina and choroid as the eye elongates. It can be associated with a lamellar or full-thickness macular hole.
Optical Coherence Tomography is useful in diagnosis. Specific protocols for treatment are yet to be established and the visual
prognosis continues to be poor
