Macular Thickness in Highly Myopic Children Aged 3 to 7 Years.

Purpose: To compare the macular thickness and volume of highly myopic children with healthy controls, using third generation optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: OCT was performed on highly myopic (cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction > -6.00 diopters [D]) children aged 3 to 7 years old and healthy controls (spherical equivalent refraction -2.
