Purpose
To assess blood flow in eye arteries using ultrasounds in patients with myopia, and to correlate the blood flow with refractive error.

Material and methods
Doppler's ultrasonography was performed in 38 patients, age 31-50 years old, with myopia ranging from -2,0 to -25,0 D. Control group consisted of age matched emmetropic patients

Results
Statistically significant decrease of Vs correlated to the value of refractive error was shown.

Conclusions
In myopic eyes blood flow decreases with the increase of the refractive error.
