    Our research group thanks Dr Oh and Professor Oh for their kind comments concerning our article ‘The relationship between retinal and choroidal thickness and visual acuity in highly myopic eyes’.1 spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) allows better visualisation of the retina surface, retinal layers and beyond, including the choroid and sclera. A high-definition scan is now available with commercial devices, including the one that we used in our study, Topcon 3D-2000 OCT (Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).
