RETINA
MACULAR SENSITIVITY AND CAPILLARY PERFUSION IN HIGHLY MYOPIC EYES WITH MYOPIC MACULAR DEGENERATION
To evaluate the interrelationship between macular sensitivity and retinal perfusion density (PD) in eyes with myopic macular degeneration (MMD).
Methods:
One hundred and thirty-eight highly myopic eyes from 82 adult participants were recruited. Macular sensitivity was evaluated using the Microperimeter MP-3. Retinal PD was measured using the PLEX Elite 9000 swept source optical coherence tomography angiography. Macular sensitivity values between different categories of MMD and its relationship with optical coherence tomography angiography measurements were evaluated using multivariable linear mixed models, adjusting for age and axial length.
Results:
Macular sensitivity reduced with increasing severity of MMD (β ≤ −0.95, P 0.04). Persons who were older (β = −0.08, P
