Longitudinal Changes in Layered Retinal Thickness during Axial Elongation in Healthy Myopic Eyes

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#To investigate longitudinal changes in foveal retinal sublayer thicknesses during axial elongation. @*Methods@#From February 2013 to September 2014, a prospective cohort was established comprising pediatric patients aged 0.05, linear mixed-effects model). @*Conclusions@#The foveal retinal sublayers maintained their thicknesses despite axial elongation, indicating that the foveal retinal structure, which is critical to visual acuity, is preserved even in elongated, myopic eyes.
