EVALUATION OF CORNEAL REFRACTION POWER AND AXIS LENGTH IN HIGH MYOPIA

Main Article Content

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the corneal refraction power (CRP), axis length (AL) and finding relationships between corneal refraction power, axis length in high myopia patient. Research methods: descriptive study, the study was conducted in 88 patients (168 eyes) were diagnosed high myopia in Central Fye hospital. Results: The average myopia was -8.76 ± 2.61D. The CRP average was 43.71 ± 1.65D. The AL average was 27.33 ± 1.49mm. CRP and myopia degree were a statistically significant association (r=-0.209; p=0.007). AL and myopia degree were a closely statistically significant association (r=-0.762; p<0.001). The CRP and the AL were not a statistically significant association (p>0.05). Conclusion: myopia degree was linearly correlated with both CRP and AL. Measuring CRP and AL was useful in diagnosis, priscription  and prognosis myopia surgery.
