Progression and Longitudinal Biometric Changes in Highly Myopic Eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine 2-year progression rate and associated biometric changes in highly myopic eyes.

Methods

This is a longitudinal, observational cohort study that included 657 participants aged 7 to 70 years with bilateral high myopia (≤-6.00 diopters [D]) and followed for 2 years. All participants underwent ocular biometry and cycloplegic refraction examinations. Main outcome measures were changes in spherical equivalent refraction (SE) and ocular biometry in the right eyes.

Results

Mean age of participants was 21.6 ± 12.2 years. At baseline, mean SE was -9.82 ± 3.28 D and ocular biometric measurements were 27.40 ± 1.56 mm for axial length, 3.16 ± 0.27 mm for anterior chamber depth, 3.60 ± 0.35 mm for lens thickness, and 20.09 ± 1.50 mm for vitreous chamber depth. Af
