| Popis: | This is a cross-sectional observational study to correlate relationship between macular and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in relation to clinical features in high myopia. A total of 100 eyes of 50 consecutive patients underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula and RNFL. It was observed that correlation of RNFL thickness to the axial length is better than that of RNFL thickness to the spherical equivalent. The macular thickness in the parafoveal region was observed to be thicker than the perifoveal region in all quadrants. This study therefore emphasizes the need to have macular thickness nomogram for high myopes to avoid misinterpretation of OCT results due to axial length and refractive error and, also, the need for a routine baseline OCT scan for all high myopia patients. |
