Abstract Objective: To explore the alterations of myopic macular retinal capillaries and its correlation with retinal thickness using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: Ninety eyes of 45 people were included in this study, divided into low myopia and emmetropia group 30 eyes of 15 people (control group), moderate myopia group 30 eyes of 15 people, high myopia group 30 eyes of 15 people. Acquisition of macular micro-vascular density and retinal thickness, then obtained the superficial and deep vascular graph by automatic stratification. The densities of 1 mm circle (fovea) and 3 mm circle ring (parafovea) in the center of macular fovea were analyzed using the built-in software. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between foveal superficial/deep density and the axial length (r=0.51, 0.52, P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between parafoveal superficial density and axial length (r=-0.34, P=0.01), but no significant correlation between parafoveal deep density and axial length (r=-0.03, P=0.79). There was a significant positive correlation between foveal superficial/deep density and the inner five-layer thickness of fovea (r=0.85, 0.82, P<0.05). There was no significant correlation between parafoveal superficial/deep density and the inner five-layer thickness of parafovea (r=0.16, 0.07, P>0.05). Conclusion: The density of retinal blood vessels in macular fovea will increase with increasing axial length and retinal thickness, while the density of retinal blood vessels will decrease with increasing of axial length but not directly related with the change of retina thickness in retinal parafovea. Clinical application of blood flow imaging technology should be taken account into myopia on the macular micro vascular impact.
