AB  - A patient with progressive visual loss and macular hole development due to 
      progressive myopic traction maculopathy was studied using spectral domain optical 
      coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A characteristic, deep retinal schisis-like change 
      was clearly demonstrable. Progression to a full-thickness macular hole was 
      documented. Postoperatively, the macular hole was closed, and the visual acuity 
      was restored. SD-OCT imaging allowed better resolution of macular features but 
      requires evaluation of all scan data. The source of progressive inner retinal 
      traction may be the posterior extension of the staphyloma.
