Ocular biometric profile and clinical characteristics of high myopia in Indian children

Key Points

• The research aims to analyze the ocular biometric profiles and clinical characteristics associated with high myopia in children.
• Conducted an observational study focusing on Indian children with high myopia.
• Measured axial length, keratometry, lens thickness, and anterior chamber depth (ACD).
• Used these biometric measurements to assess their predictive value for myopia severity.
• Identified axial length as the main factor influencing myopia.
• Noted that keratometry, lens thickness, and ACD also contribute significant predictive information.
• Observed early retinal changes linked with severe refractive errors in high myopia children.
