Correlations of AL with thickness of macular layers, with both unadjusted data and data after adjusting for age, signal strength value and sex.

<p>Abbreviations: AL: axial length, RNFL: retinal nerve fiber layer, GCL+IPL: ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer complex, INL: inner nuclear layer, OPL: outer plexiform layer, ONL: outer plexiform layer, RPE: retinal pigment epithelium, cpRNFL: circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer.</p><p>(n = 53) Whole: entire ETDRS area, fovea: central 1mm ring, pericentral ring: 1–3 mm diameter around the fovea, peripheral ring: 3-6mm diameter around the fovea. The statistical analysis was performed using partial correlation coefficient. Note that due to the foveal anatomy only the ONL, RPE and total retinal thickness results in the foveal region are displayed here.
