(a) Colour fundus photograph of the right eye demonstrating features of high myopia, abnormal radial foveal striations, and saccular aneurysm-like changes in the temporal macula (black arrow). (b) This wide-field pseudocolour photograph of the right retina demonstrates that there was no peripheral retinoschisis.
