Study aiming to evaluate Macular Vascular Density in High Myopes without pathological myopic maculopathy in outpatient clinic in Sohag teaching hospital using OCTA .
Study Design : This is a cross sectional observational study , of about 50 patients attending ophthalmology outpatient clinic at Sohag Teaching Hospital . Inclusion criteria : All myopic patients with axial high myopia (-6 spherical refractive error or more) attending the ophthalmology outpatient clinic . Exclusion criteria : The exclusion criteria will include : * History of other any ocular diseases , systemic diseases that may affect the ocular circulation . * Previous intraocular surgery or ocular injury . * Any patient with pathological myopic maculopathy (epiretinal membrane, foveoschisis, macular holes, lamellar holes, Lacquers cracks, choroidal neovascularization and retinal atrophy ) .

RECRUITINGOutcome of evaluation of vascular density in high myopes
Correlation between macular vascular density in high myopes and their : Uncorrected visual acuity in diopters . Best corrected visual acuity in diopters . Spherical equivalent refraction that measured through this equivalent (spherical error + 1/2 cylindrical error ) . Central macular thickness in micrometers . To see how does ischemia affects vision in high myopes .
