High Myopia, Scleral fold with Abduction

High Myopia, Scleral fold with Abduction
A reversible scleral fold nasally may show up in high myopia with thinning of the sclera and maximal abduction. The fold in this left eye is presumably caused by the nasal rectus muscle. This eye also has peripheral degenerations and shows fresh photocoagulation marks.
