Role of corneal radius of curvature in early identification of fundus tessellation in children with low myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To assess the role of the corneal radius of curvature (CR) in the identification of fundus tessellation in children with low myopia.

Methods

In the cross-sectional study, students aged 9-12 years from 24 primary schools in Shanghai were enrolled by cluster sampling. Participants underwent measurements including cycloplegic refraction and axial length. Fundus images and choroidal thickness were obtained by swept-source optical coherence tomography. Fundus tessellation was classified into four grades according to fundus photographs.

Results

A total of 1127 children with low myopia (spherical equivalence (SE) >-3.00 dioptre (D) but ≤-0.50 D) were included, with a mean age of 10.29±0.60 years and a mean SE of -1.44±0.69 D. Fundus tessellation was found in 591 (52.4%)
