Introduction
Measurement of retinal thickness using optical coherence tomography in patients with myopia.

Material and methods
39 patients, 23 girls and 16 boys, aged 14-18 years, were included in the study. Control group consisted of 18 patients. Each patient was subjected to routine ophthalmic investigations, which included the assessment of visual acuity for near and distant objects, autorefractometer, intraocular pressure measurement, biometry, static visual field. The macular retinal thickness was measured using the optical coherence tomograph (OCT).

Results
The mean macular retinal thickness in the eyes with low myopia was 162.0 μm, with medium myopia 158.5 μ, while in high myopia 125.0 μm. A statistical correlation was found between the retinal thickness in high myopia patients and in the control group.

Conclusions
Optical coherence tomography can be employed to assess the retinal thickness and thus facilitate the observation of the evolution of alterations in myopia.
