Materials and Methods: OCT was performed in 15 eyes of 15 patients with active subfoveal CNV secondary to pathologic myopia. The characteristics of OCT findings were identified.

Results: In all eyes, OCT demonstrated CNV as a highly reflective elevation above the retina pigment epithelium. No eye had OCT findings of cystoid macular edema and pigment epithelium detachment. In one eye (6.6%) intraretinal fluid and in the other eye (6.6%) subretinal fluid accumulation were detected.

Conclusion: OCT is a valuable tool in the determination of active phase of myopic CNV. In particular, the absence of intraretinal fluid and subretinal fluid in most of the eyes are specific to active myopic CNV. These OCT findings also suggest the low activity of CNV in high myopia, which is consistent with angiographic findings.
