Introduction. At present mechanisms of retinal property changes in foveoschisis have not been studied; there is no mathematical model of foveoschisis development.
Purpose. To develop a mathematical model of the mechanism of retinal property changes in foveoschisis.
Material and methods. We examined 7 patients (14 eyes) with high axial myopia and myopic maculopathy. All patients underwent a spectral optical coherence tomography. Mathematical methods in the theory of destruction of elastic and elastic- plastic materials were applied.
Results. There are posterior staphyloma and myopic foveoschisis diagnosed in all patients with high axial myopia. Potential causes of foveoschisis progressing can be divided into extraretinal and intraretinal ones. The extraretinal causes are the
Key words: retina, foveoschisis, mathematical model, spectral optical coherence tomography
