Right eye pseudocolor fundus photo of a 20 year old with Both eyes Pathological Myopia (spherical refractive error of - 18.00 DS in BE), showing a tilted myopic disc with peripapillary atrophy, and extensive posterior staphyloma baring the underlying choroidal vessels and scleral tissue. We can also see a well-defined round chorioretinal atrophic (CRA) patch superonasal to the disc, giving the illusion of double disc on cursory fundus examination.
