The Association between Macular Thickness and Axial Length in Myopic Eyes

Figure 3

The relationship between axial length and differences in thickness obtained by subtracting the foveal thickness from that of inner macular sectors in polynomial regression analyses. The trend is relatively flat at axial lengths of up to 25.5 mm and started to show steepened negative slopes from around axial length of 25.5 mm. The grey area denotes the 95% confidence band. F, fovea; ISM, inner superior macula; INM, inner nasal macula; IIM, inner inferior macula; ITM, inner temporal macula.
