| Summary: |
Purpose:
Measurement of retinal thickness using optical coherence
tomography in patients with myopia.
Material and methods: 39 patients, 23 girls and
16 boys, aged 14-18 years, were included in the study.
Control group consisted of 18 patients. Each patient was
subjected to routine ophthalmic investigations, which
included the assessment of visual acuity for near and
distant objects, autorefractometer, intraocular pressure
measurement, biometry, static visual field. The macular
retinal thickness was measured using the optical
coherence tomograph (OCT).
Results: The mean macular retinal thickness in
the eyes with low myopia was 162.0 µm, with medium
myopia 158.5 µ, while in high myopia 125.0 µm. A
statistical correlation was found between the retinal
thickness in high myopia patients and in the control
group.
Conclusions: Optical coherence tomography can be
employed to assess the retinal thickness and thus
facilitate the observation of the evolution of
alterations in myopia. |
