Macular ridges: Prevalence and associated factors—The Beijing Eye Study
Macular ridges were relatively common in myopic eyes, with macular ridge prevalence and height increasing with longer axial length and older age in a curvilinear manner. They were not significantly associated with corneal astigmatism or best-corrected visual acuity. They may be explained by an inter-plane asymmetry in axial elongation-associated enlargement of Bruch's membrane in the fundus midperiphery.
