OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between @entity1714 and @entity6 . STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Eye Department of Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lahore General Hospital, from August 2012 to February 2013. METHODOLOGY: A total of 258 @entity1 suffering from type-2 @entity6 were included. Axial length was measured by two optometrists using contact type ultrasound biometer. Colored retinal photographs, red free retinal photographs and Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) were performed on all @entity1 using standard fundus camera. All fundus photographs and angiograms were independently reviewed and graded by two qualified vitreoretinal fellows. RESULTS: Out of 258 @entity1 , 163 were males (63.2%) and 95 (36.8%) were females. Average age of @entity1 was 56.30    7.57 years. Average axial length of right and left eyes were 23.16 mm and 23.15 mm respectively. There was statistically significant negative correlation between axial length and severity of @entity6 in the right eye, (Spearman correlation = -0.511, p = 0.0001) as well as the left eye (Spearman correlation = -0.522, p = 0.0001). CONCLUSION: There is a protective influence of longer axial length of globe on the stage and severity of @entity6 . This study may help in modifying the screening protocol for @entity6 amongst @entity1 of differing axial lengths.
