Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals thinner retinal nerve fibre layer in high myopic subjects, indicating age and sex influence in an African population.

Key Points

High myopes have significantly thinner retinal nerve fibre layer compared to emmetropes.
Mean global RNFL thickness decreases with increasing myopia, particularly notable in high myopes.
Age correlates negatively with RNFL thickness in both myopes and emmetropes, with pronounced decline in emmetropes.
117 participants aged 20-59 were evaluated with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
