To evaluate the retinal vascular flow density changes of myopic eyes young adults using optical coherence tomography angiography and factors affecting these changes. In this cross-sectional study, 90 45 participants were analyzed divided into three groups: mild, moderate, high myopia (without pathological changes). Macular radial peripapillary capillary densities measured angiography. Their relationships with axial length, spherical equivalent refractive error, age analysis variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multivariate linear regression analysis. Superficial deep macular significantly decreased in group compared to other groups. group, nasal decreased, whereas inside disc increased. The length negatively correlated superficial density, but positively disc. error density. group. Hence, microvascular network may have a compensatory action hypoxic setting myopia.
