The children with a spherical equivalent of \u2264\u22120.50 D were considered myopic, \u2265\u22120.5 to \u2264+0.5 D were considered emmetropic, and \u2265+0.50 D were considered hypermetropic. RNFL thickness and GCL thickness were correlated with age, gender, spherical equivalent, and axial length. The mean global RNFL thickness was 104.58 \u00b5m \u00b1 7.567.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There exists a negative correlation between RNFL thickness and macular GCL thickness with increasing severity of myopia and increase in axial length, and the possible reason
