Figure 2

Offsets of anterior scleral opening (ASCO), central retinal vascular trunk (CRVT), and longest externally oblique border (EOB). (A, B) Vector fields comparing the CRVT (orange arrows) and the ASCO offsets (blue arrows) in eyes with complete ASCO demarcation (A) and in eyes with incomplete ASCO demarcation (B). Both offsets share directionalities, while extent is larger for CRVT offset than for ASCO offset. Please note that the eyes with the largest CRVT offset (shift index = 1.0) are not even drawn in the vector fields because we could not define the directionality for the CRVT offset in those cases. (C) Scatter plot comparing extent of CRVT and ASCO offsets within individuals by pixels. Regardless of complete or incomplete ASCO demarcation, CRVT offset tends to be larger than ASCO offset. The eyes with the largest CRVT offset (shift index = 1.0) were excluded from the analysis because we could not measure the exact pixel values of CRVT offset in those cases. (D) Scatter plot comparing angular deviations of CRVT offset, ASCO offset, and longest EOB. Please note that ASCO offset is barely deviated inferiorly. S = superior; T = temporal; I = inferior; N = nasal.
