Abstract:In myopic eyes, the elongation of the globe leads to mechanical stretching and thinning of the retina. Therefore, it is conceivable that the extent of the elongation would be related to the degree of retinal thinning, although it is yet to be ascertained whether the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness is decreased at the histologic level. To evaluate RNFL by OCT in Emmetropic and Myopic patients and evaluate the relationship between RNFL thickness and the grade of myopia and Axial Length. The present st… Show more
