Abstract
The retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness is reportedly decreased in myopia; however, magnification adjustment is an important consideration when using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to evaluate myopic eyes. In this study, RNFL thickness and optic nerve head (ONH) size were measured in highly myopic eyes with and without magnification adjustments. The measurements were compared with magnification-adjusted OCT measurements of emmetropic control eyes.
