Abstract
- Lacquer cracks represent the healed mechanical breaks of retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, and choriocapillaris complex.The etiologic mechanism of new lacquer cracks in high myopia has not yet been elucidated. Recently, cases in which new lacquer cracks formed at the site of the previous subretinal bleeding have been reported and it has been postulated that the subretinal bleeding may be the precursor of lacquer cracks formation in high myopia.Herein, we present our patient who developed a new lacquer crack at the site of previous subretinal bleeding with a brief literatures review.
