"Comparison of Individual Retinal Layer Thicknesses
between Highly Myopic Eyes and Normal Control Eyes
Using Retinal Layer Segmentation Analysis"
NCBI PubMed.gov US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health Sci Rep. 2019 Sep 30;9(1):14000. doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-50306-w. Kim JH1, Kim M2, Han JY3, Kang HG3, Byeon SH1, Kim SS1, Koh HJ1, Lee SC1, Kim M4. The incidence of myopia is increasing worldwide, and the investigation on pathophysiology of myopia is becoming more important. This retrospective study aimed to compare the thicknesses of individual retinal layers between high-myopic and control eyes, and to evaluate the effects of age and sex on each retinal layer thickness. We assessed 164 subjects and divided them into two groups based on axial length (AL) (i.e., high-myopic group (AL ≥ 26 mm) and control group (AL < 26 mm)). Individual retinal layer thicknesses of five subfields in the macula were measured using automated retinal segmentation software packaged with the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and were compared. In high-myopia group, the thicknesses of total retina and all individual retinal layers in central and entire perifoveal subfields were significantly thicker than the corresponding layers in control group after adjustment for ocular magnification (all P < 0.05). There were no significant effects of sex on individual retinal thicknesses, and age had less negative effects on the thicknesses of retina layers in high-myopic eyes than normal eyes. Axially elongated, non-pathologic highly myopic eyes had different structural features than control eyes, with significantly greater individual macular layer thicknesses independent of sex or age.

Abstract
Group Retinal layer thickness Frequency A Control group ~200 to ~350 ~0 to ~15 B High myopic group ~200 to ~400 ~0 to ~25
According to this research,
Highly Myopic Eyes and Normal Control Eyes
are showing different individual Retinal Layer Thicknesses
depending on the gender and age.
