| Abstract |
|
In order to explain the changes of refractive components related to refractive error in subdivided myopia according to fundus changes, we studied the correlation of axial length, vitreous length, anterior chmaber depth and corneal power in comparison with refractive error among 142 eyeballs of 15 to 30 years old patients. There is a close association between refractive error and axial length with coefficient of correlation r=0.75(p<0.01), but closer association is revealed between refractive error and vitreous length with coefficient of correlation r=0.82(p<0.01). The increase of vitreous length means the changes of the posterior pole, so that it may be logical to take into consideration of fundus changes in subdividing myopic eyes with same degree of refractive error. In apposition to other refractive components, corneal power is reduced according to refractive error but it does not have a significant effect. |
