Macular Microvasculature in High Myopia without Pathologic Changes: An Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The FAZ was enlarged and the parafoveal vascular density was reduced in the highly myopic eyes. The decrease was prominent in the superficial capillary plexuses and well-correlated with the retinal thickness profiles. The macular microvascular network alteration may be attributed to the ocular axial elongation that occurs with myopia. PMID: 32233143 [PubMed - in process]
