Abstract: Pathological myopia is the main cause of visual impairment in myopic individuals, and its complications are closely related to the vitreoretinal interface. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can observe its morphological changes, mainly including the posterior precortical vitreous pocket, posterior vitreous detachment, residual vitreous cortex, traction, and anterior retinal membrane. These changes play an important role in the occurrence and development of pathological myopia.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47：  512-516)

Key words: myopia, vitreoretinal interface, optical coherence tomography
