| Popis: | PURPOSE Axial myopia is characterized by a thinning of the choroid. We examined whether the myopic choroidal thinning also includes a thinning of the choriocapillaris. METHODS Using light microscopy, we measured thickness and density of the choriocapillaris at the posterior pole, posterior pole-equator midpoint (PPEMP), equator and close to the ora serrata on histological sections of 58 enucleated human globes (mean age: 62.4 ± 17.8 years; range: 24-88 years; mean axial length: 27.8 ± 4.0 mm; range: 22.0-37.0 mm). RESULTS Choriocapillaris thickness decreased (p |
