Correlation of the macular microvasculature to the axial length in pediatric patients with high axial refractive errors.

Aims: To compare the vascular density (VD) of the macular superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris (CC), and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) among high hyperopic, high myopic, and emmetropic children using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods: This was a cross sectional comparative study of otherwise healthy children with different refractive errors. Patients were recruited from Cairo University Children's Hospital.
