Objective To objectively quantitative assess the visual quality in patients with myopic foveoschisis (MF) using a double-pass optical quality analysis system (OQASⅡ). Methods Sixty-two subjects participated in this cross-sectional, observational study, who were divided into three groups based on the pathologic conditions including myopic foveoschisis group (MFG), myopic control group (MCG) and normal control group (NCG). Measurements with OQASⅡwere performed for the modulation transfer function cut off frequency (MTF cut-off), the Strehl ratio (SR) and the objective scatter index (OSI). Visual data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson's correlation accompanied by logMAR BCVA and axial length (AL). Results The mean values for MTF cut-off, SR and OSI of MFG, MCG and NCG were 18.18±4.81, 0.13±0.03, 3.50±0.44; 22.87±2.66, 0.14±0.02, 2.42±0.29; 33.68±4.70, 0.23±0.02, 1.68±0.20 respectively, and statistical difference were proved except SR between MFG and MCG, or BCVA between MCG and NCG (P < 0.05). LogMAR BCVA and AL have negative correlations to MTF cut-off (r=-0.928, -0.658; P < 0.05) and SR (r=-0.577, -0.893; P < 0.05) with high coefficients in MFG. Log MAR BCVA has negative correlations to MTF cut-off and SR (r=-0.659, -0.806; P < 0.05) in MCG. Log MAR BCVA has negative correlations to MTF cut-off and SR (r=-0.606, -0.602; P < 0.05) and positively correlated to OSI (r=0.561, P < 0.05) in NCG. Conclusions The mean value of BCVA, MTF cut-off, SR, OSI of myopic foveoschisis patients were lower than those myopic patients without foveoschisis and normal people. there exists a significant negative correlation between Log MAR BCVA, AL to MTF cut-off and SR. Compared with myopic and normal subjects, myopic foveoschisis have lower BCVA, MTF cut-off, SR but higher OSI.
