Abstract
PURPOSE: To assess blood flow in eye arteries using ultrasounds in patients with myopia, and to correlate the blood flow with refractive error. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 38 patients, age 31-50 years old, with myopia ranging from -2.0 to -25.0 D. Control group consisted of age matched emmetropic patients. RESULTS: Statistically significant decrease of Vs correlated to the value of refractive error was shown. CONCLUSIONS: In myopic eyes blood flow decreases with the increase of the refractive error.
