Background: In myopic eyes, the axial length of the globe exceeds normal dimensions, and the sclera becomes thinner, especially at the posterior pole. Therefore, the retina at the posterior pole may stretch in myopic eyes. Thus, it has been hypothesized that highly myopic eyes have thinner retinas a...
