Peripheral cobblestone regions in highly myopic eyes are characterized by marked BM thinning with absence of an inner BM layer, almost complete RPE absence, choriocapillaris thinning and firm connection of a disorganized retina to BM. These findings may help elucidating the process of axial elongation in myopic eyes.
