Bulk changes in posterior scleral collagen microstructure in human high myopia.

Conclusions: Bulk alterations in the normal posterior scleral collagen microstructure occur in human eyes with high myopia. These changes could reflect remodeling of the posterior sclera during axial lengthening and/or a mechanical adaption to tissue stresses induced by fluid pressure or eye movements that may be exacerbated in enlarged eyes.
