Retinal and Choroidal Thickness in Myopic Young Adults

The retinal and the choroidal thickness were measured at four locations along horizontal direction (foveola, one nasal to fovea two temporal) in a group of 43 young adults (mean age: 27.1 ± 3.9 years), with ocular refraction ranging from emmetropia high myopia (0 −10D). Thickness values obtained OCT images centered foveal depression. exhibited correlation all eccentricities but not fovea. When different subgroups considered, analysis such correlations indicated that only (refraction ≤ −6D) was statistically other groups (emmetropes: [−0.5, 0] D, myopes: (−6, −0.5) D). No significant differences found between emmetropic myopic groups. In contrast retina, fovea, although dependency stood for myopes (the choroid emmetropes similar thickness). Correlation also location, arising Other among did exhibit relationship refraction. It is concluded retina meridian as function do characterize onset progression early stages, since they manifest myopia.
