About this study

Study Design : This is a cross sectional observational study , of about 50 patients attending ophthalmology outpatient clinic at Sohag Teaching Hospital .

Inclusion criteria

All myopic patients with axial high myopia (-6 spherical refractive error or more) attending the ophthalmology outpatient clinic .

Exclusion criteria

The exclusion criteria will include :

  • History of other any ocular diseases , systemic diseases that may affect the ocular circulation .
  • Previous intraocular surgery or ocular injury .
  • Any patient with pathological myopic maculopathy (epiretinal membrane, foveoschisis, macular holes, lamellar holes, Lacquers cracks, choroidal neovascularization and retinal atrophy ) .

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

wil include :

  • All myopic patients with axial high myopia (-6 spherical refractive error or more) of different age groups .

Exclusion criteria

will include :

  • -History of other any ocular diseases , systemic diseases that may affect the ocular circulation .
  • Previous intraocular surgery or ocular injury .
  • Any patient with pathological myopic maculopathy as epiretinal membrane, foveoschisis, macular holes, lamellar holes, Lacquers cracks, choroidal neovascularization and retinal atrophy .

Treatment and study plan

optical coherence tomography angiography

Other

OCTA will be used to evaluate the macular vascular density and to exclude patients with pathological myopic maculopathy

Primary outcomes

  1. Outcome of evaluation of vascular density in high myopes

    Time frame: 6 month

    Correlation between macular vascular density in high myopes and their :

    Uncorrected visual acuity in diopters . Best corrected visual acuity in diopters . Spherical equivalent refraction that measured through this equivalent (spherical error + 1/2 cylindrical error ) .

    Central macular thickness in micrometers .

    To see how does ischemia affects vision in high myopes .
