Purpose.
To quantify macular vascular density using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to investigate its relationship with retinal thickness in myopic eyes of young adults.
Methods.
In this cross-sectional study, 268 myopic eyes without pathological changes were recruited and divided into three groups: mild myopia (n=81), moderate myopia (n=117), and high myopia (n=70).
Macular vascular density was quantified by OCTA and compared among three groups.
Average retinal thickness, central subfield thickness, and macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC) thickness were also evaluated and compared.
Correlations among these variables were analyzed.
Results.
There was no statistical difference in superficial (62.3 ± 5.7% versus 62.7 ± 5.9% versus 63.8 ± 5.5%) and deep macular vascular densities (58.3 ± 9.6% versus 59.2 ± 9.3% versus 60.9 ± 7.9%) among mild-myopia, moderate-myopia, and high-myopia groups (both P>0.05).
Superficial and deep macular vascular densities both had correlations with mean arterial pressure.
Furthermore, superficial macular vascular density was significantly correlated with mGCC thickness.
Conclusions.
Varying degrees of myopia did not affect macular vascular density in young healthy adults.
In addition, superficial macular vascular density, as an independent factor, was positively correlated with mGCC thickness.
