Abstract Objective: To investigate the relationship between amount of myopia and blood flow density and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in the macular area in myopic children and adolescents. Methods: This was a case series study. The clinical data of 50 cases and 100 eyes of children and adolescents who were tested for myopia in the optometry clinic of Ningde City Hospital Affiliated to Ningde Normal University from July 2019 to January 2020 were collected for analysis. All subjects were examined for height, uncorrected visual acuity, refractive error, and corrected visual acuity. The eye axial length and OCTA in the macular area were also tested. Patients were divided into two groups according to the size of the equivalent spherical refractive error (SE): A low myopia-to-emmetropia group (-3.0 D<SE<+0.5 D) with 66 eyes and a moderate-to-high myopia group (SE≤-3.0 D) with 34 eyes. The differences in blood flow vascular density (VD), perfusion density (PD) and FAZ between the two groups were observed, as well as their correlations with the child's height and eye axial length. Analysis of variance, rank and inspection, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to test results for the macular blood flow, eye axial length and the child's height. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the vascular density of a 1 mm diameter area (VD1), the perfusion density of a 1 mm diameter area (PD1) and the perfusion density of a 6 mm diameter area (PD4) centered at the macular shallow layer. VD4 and FAZ were significantly different (t=3.870, P=0.031; t=6.237, P=0.014), FAZ was negatively correlated with eye axial length and age (r=-0.333, P=0.001; r=-0.289, P=0.042). Conclusions: The VD4 and FAZ of children and adolescents with low myopia are both larger than those with moderate-to-high myopia, and FAZ is negatively correlated with eye axial length and age, but the causal relationship needs further study.
