Inter-relationship of Retinal, Choroidal, and Scleral Thickness in High Myopia

Purpose Considering that myopia is associated with thinning of the ocular coats, this study investigated the inter-relationship of retinal, choroidal and scleral thickness in foveal regions in Indian high myopes. Methods A total of 23 high myopes (spherical equivalent refraction [≤]-6.00D) aged 16 to 35 years underwent posterior segment imaging with swept-source optical coherence tomography. The retinal, choroidal and scleral thickness was determined using semi-automated custom-designed software at sub-foveal regions. Axial length was determined using Lenstar LS 900 non-contact biometer. Results The mean plus-or-minus sign SD axial length was 30.17 plus-or-minus sign 2.23 mm, sub-foveal re
