Assessment of macular retinal thickness and volume in normal eyes and highly myopic eyes with third-generation optical coherence tomography

1. Purpose To compare the macular retinal thickness and macular volume between subjects with high myopia and non-myopia. Methods This prospective nonrandomized, comparative study recruited healthy subjects with high myopia subjects, defined as a spherical equivalence (SE) over - 6 dioptres (D) or AXL26.5 mm and the best corrected visual acuity better than 20/25, and subjects with non-myopia, defined as an with SE between 1.5D and - 1.5 D and the BCVA better than 20/25. Optical coherence tomography was performed in each eye. Results Eighty high myopic eyes and 40 non-myopic eyes were included. The mean age of the high myopic ... (Read Full Article)
