Abstract
A method of determining pathologic myopia by using the geometric structure of a posterior sclera of a fundus includes obtaining geometric location data about a fovea, an optic disc, and a deepest point of the eye (DPE) in the posterior sclera of the fundus; obtaining an elevation difference TEPSbetween the fovea and the DPE, an elevation difference TEPSbetween the optic disc and the DPE, and an elevation difference TEPSbetween the fovea and the optic disc by using location information about the fovea, the optic disc, and the DPE in the posterior sclera; and determining pathologic myopia by using at least two elevation differences selected from among the elevation difference TEPSbetween the fovea and the DPE, the elevation difference TEPSbetween the optic disc and the DPE, and the elevation difference TEPSbetween the fovea and the optic disc.
