Relationship between axial length with the macular thicknesses of three categories of myopia and total myopia

In high myopia eyes none of the macular thicknesses, either positively or negatively correlated with axial length (p>0.05). in moderate categories, foveae minimum, fovea, superior inner, nasal inner, inferior inner were significantly positively correlated with axial length (p<0.05). in mild myopia eyes, temporal inner and inferior inner were significantly positively correlated with axial length (p<0.05). in respect of all myopia eyes, foveae minimum, fovea and superior inner had significantly positively correlated with axial length (p<0.05)
