Optical coherence tomography angiography of the macula of high myopia in children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High myopia represents a health issue and leads to the development of complications that threaten vision. The study of macular changes in high myopia patients has undergone great advances with updated technology via new spectral optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Most of related studies have focused on the adults and additional studies need to investigate macular changes in children and adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the macular structure by OCT and the macular vessel density in high myopia in children and adolescents by OCTA.

Methods

A cross-sectional comparative study. The population was divided into two groups: group 1 (4-11 years) and group 2 (12-18 years). The results were comparab
