Abstract
PURPOSE: To find out relationship between Macular thickness and Myopia. Methods: A total of 250 myopic eyes were analyzed. Macular thickness in different quadrants were measured with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and compared between the two diagnostic groups. Simple Linear Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between degree of myopia and Macular thickness in different quadrants. RESULT: Macular Thickness of Fovea is more in group A (Low myopia group) in comparison to group B (High myopia group). In Superior Outer, Temporal Outer, Nasal Outer, Superior Inner, Temporal Inner, Inferior Inner and Nasal Inner quadrants macular thickness is more in group A in comparison to group B. Only in Inferior Outer quadrant macular thickness is lower in group A then group B. Conclusion: Our study demonstrate that increasing myopia is associated with reduced macular thickness and refraction is important ocular biometric determinants of macular thickness.
