Choroidal vascular changes in early-stage myopic maculopathy from deep learning choroidal analysis: a hospital-based SS-OCT study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this study is to illustrate the changes in the choroidal vasculature in individuals with diffuse chorioretinal atrophy (DCA, early-stage myopic maculopathy) and investigate the association between them.

Methods

This study included 1418 highly myopic eyes from 720 participants aged 18 - 60 years from the Wenzhou High Myopia Cohort Study. These participants underwent comprehensive ophthalmic assessments. Myopic maculopathy classification followed the Meta-PM system, with pathological myopia defined as myopic maculopathy of DCA or severer. Eyes with myopic maculopathy categorized as no macular lesions (C0), tessellated fundus (C1), and DCA (C2) were enrolled in the analysis. Choroidal images were obtained from swept-source optical coherence tomograph
