OBJECTIVE: To report the observations of the retrobulbar vasculature with
indocyanine green angiography. METHODS: We performed fluorescein and
indocyanine green angiography with a fundus camera (TRC501A) at a
university medical center. We examined 12 patients (three men and nine
women) with pathologic myopia. RESULTS: With these methods, retrobulbar
vessels could be observed in the eyes of these patients with pathologic
myopia and thin sclera. The location of the vessels could be changed by
altering eye position. CONCLUSION: With fluorescein angiography, we were
able to visualize some of the retrobulbar vasculature in selected areas,
but indocyanine green angiography was apparently superior to fluorescein
angiography.
