Lacquer cracks are uncommon findings in the posterior pole of highly myopic eyes. Herein, we report a case of a young man with an unusual localization of the lesion in the midperiphery of the eye.
Report of a Case
An 18-year-old man had a history of progressive myopia since childhood. No history of ocular trauma was obtained. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 OU. The refractive error was –6.50 diopter (D) sphere OD and –2.75 D sphere OS (spherical equivalent). Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopic examination revealed myopic configuration of the optic nerve head and marked peripheral chorioretinal atrophy. In the temporal midperiphery, at approximately 2 disc diameters posterior to the vortex veins, 2 fine, arc-shaped lacquer cracks, about 1 disc diameter apart in the midportion and merging at the extremities, were present in the right eye, extending from the 9-o’clock . . .
