Subclinical Microvascular Deficits as a Promising Biomarker for Functional Impairment in Non-Pathological High Myopia: A Cross-Sectional Study
Macular vessel density, particularly in the deep vascular plexus, declines with greater myopia and correlates with diminished macular function. OCTA-derived macular vessel density could be a promising biomarker candidate for early detection and monitoring of retinal functional impairment in myopic eyes.
