Résumé

To study the effect of axial length (AL) on quantitative characterization of macular and optic nerve microvasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in healthy individuals. A cross-sectional study where participants were divided into 3 groups according to AL; A: ≤22.5 mm, B: 22.6-24.5 mm, C: >24.5 mm. Superficial vascular density (SVD), deep vascular density (DVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ), and radial peripapillary capillary density (RPCD) were calculated using OCTA. Pearson correlation was run to identify the relation between AL and study parameters. One hundred and twelve eyes of 56 participants (20 males, 36 females) were included. Mean FAZ was 0.33 ± 0.15 mm Most of optic nerve and macular microvascular parameters were significantly lower in eyes with longer axial lengths when compared to those with shorter axial lengths. Moreover, most of these parameters were negatively correlated with AL.
