Hemoglobin oxygen saturation in myopic eyes: a scanning laser ophthalmoscope study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: AIM: To evaluate retinal hemoglobin oxygen saturation in myopic eyes by scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) and to assess its correlations with different severity of myopia. METHODS: AV) were estimated from the optical densities of the vessels on the images at the two wavelengths. Pearson's or Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were calculated to assess the correlation between retinal hemoglobin oxygen saturation and refractive error/axial length (AL). RESULTS: >0.05). CONCLUSION: V increased in more myopic eye based on SLO measurements. Further studies are warranted to investigate the changes of retinal hemoglobin oxygen saturation in myopia with different methods.
