Implication

Cross-sectional study examines the relationship between RNFL thickness and axial length in myopic patients, suggesting potential implications for ocular health.

Key Points

Increasing axial length in myopic patients correlates with decreased retinal nerve fibre layer thickness, indicating potential implications for vision health.
The study found a Pearson's correlation coefficient of -0.586, showing a moderate negative correlation between axial length and RNFL thickness.
In a cross-sectional study involving 85 patients with a mean age of 18.88 years, myopic individuals exhibited a mean RNFL thickness of 138.65 micrometers.
The findings highlight the clinical relevance of monitoring RNFL thickness in myopic patients as axial length increases, possibly guiding future eye care.
