Abstract

Purpose: : The notion of chorioretinal thinning in high myopia has been clearly demonstrated. The aim of our study was to assess the functional impairment in patients with high myopia , by measuring the visual acuity and by analysing the microperimetry

Methods: : Prospective study of 20 patients over 50 years divided into 2 groups: 10 high myopic patients with axial length> 28 mm and a control group of 10 patients with axial length <26 mm.Each patient had an ophthalmologic examination including ETDRS visual acuity, choroidal and retinal thickness measurements by SD-OCT and a microperimetry

Results: : Myopic group (mean axial length of 30.5 mm): mean ETDRS score of 76, mean choroidal macular thickness of 103.6 micronsControl group (mean axial length of 24.7 mm): mean ETDRS score of 85, mean choroidal macular thickness of 211.2 micronsThere is a significant decrease in retinal sensitivity thresholds in high myopia.There was a significant correlation between the choroidal thickness of the central 2000μm and the total retinal thickness (Rm = 0.64, p <0.05) and the outer retinal thickness (Rm = 0.45, p <0.05)However, no correlation was found between choroidal and retinal thicknesses and retinal sensitivity level and between visual acuity and these two thicknesses.

Conclusions: : In high myopic patients without any associated eye disease, visual acuity may be optimal whatever the choroidal thickness but low visual acuity is associated with EC <100 micronsTheir threshold of retinal sensitivity decrease but we did not find any correlation between the choroidal or the retinal thickness and visual functions measured by visual acuity and microperimetry
