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.
