Objective To discuss the image of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) about high myopia. Methods Tweenty-seven patients (54 eyes) with high myopia underwent ocular examination, funduscolorphotography, simultaneous ICGA and fluorescein angiograp hy (FFA) with theconfocalscanning laser ophthalmoscope.The findings for the two modes of amgiographies were compared. Results Lacquer crack was evident on ICGA in 19 eyes among which the focal, plaque choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were apparent in the middle part of lacquer cracks in 10 eyes (52.6%) .In comparison the lacquer cracks were seen in only 7 eyes on FFA. Choroidal capillary atrophy was seen on ICGA and FFA in 14 eyes and ICGA shew thick choroidal vessels in 3 eyes. Conclusion ICGA is superior to FFA for showing choroidoretinal degeneration and atrophy,lacquer crack and CNV in high myopic eyes, and conduce to evaluating prognosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:201-203
