Özet

Background/objectives: It is debatable whether the decrease of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in myopic people under 18 years of age is due to insufficient measurement techniques or to real physical loss of retinal ganglion cells and axons. Hence, to better understand the relationship between the degree of myopia and the neuroretinal rim (NR), we aim to investigate the NR in the eyes of healthy myopic children using the novel measurement algorithms of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
