| Core Tip |
Optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCTA) is practical as well as stable available in clinical ophthalmology. Our findings might conduce to diagnose and follow-up of children’s macular diseases. We obtain data from 5 to 18 years old children by OCTA images to describe the baseline of children retina growth and microcirculation in Qamdo, averages altitude above 3000 m. We now know the mean foveal thickness (MFT) was thinner in girls than in boys, and age effect in MFT (the macular cube), full vascular plexus density, inner vascular plexus density (linear increased). High altitude might cause difference in MFT but we don’t have enough data. Further studies will explain mechanisms and clinical significance of these changes. |
