Purpose. To investigate the central macular thickness (CMT) in myopic, emmetropic, and hyperopic Chinese children using Optical Coherence Tomography. Methods. 168 right eyes of Chinese subjects aged 4–18 were divided into 3 groups based on their postcycloplegic spherical equivalent: myopes (<−1.0 D); emmetropes (≥−1.0 to ≤+1.0 D); and hyperopes (>+1.0 D) and the CMT was compared before/after age adjustment. The CMT was correlated with age, axial length, and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL). Results. The mean CMT was 274.9±50.3 μm and the mean population age was 7.6±3.3 years. The CMT was thickest in the myopes (283.3±57.3 μm, n=56), followed by the hyperopes (266.2±55.31 μm, n=60) and then emmetropes (259.8±28.7 μm, n=52) (all P<0.0001). When adjusted for age, myopes had a thicker CMT than the other 2 groups (all P<0.0001) but there was no CMT difference between the emmetropes and hyperopes (P>0.05). There was no significant correlation between CMT with age, axial length, or peripapillary RNFL (all P≥0.2). Conclusion. Chinese children with myopia had a thicker CMT than those with emmetropia or hyperopia. There was no correlation of the CMT with age, axial length, or peripapillary RNFL thickness.
