Association of choroidal thickness and blood flow features with asymmetric axial lengths in children with unilateral myopic anisometropia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Considering that changes in the choroidal thickness are closely related to ocular growth, we studied the choroidal thickness (CT) and the blood flow features in children with unilateral myopic anisometropia (UMA) as well as investigating the relationship between choroidal changes and myopia.

Methods

Subjective refractive, axial length (AL), and biometric parameters were measured in 98 UMA children (age: 8-15 years). CT and choroidal blood-flow features, including the choroidal vessel volume (CVV), choroidal vascularity index (CVI), and choriocapillaris perfusion area (CCPA), were measured through swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography. The macular region was categorized into four concentric circles of diameters 0-1 mm (central fovea), 1-3 mm (parafo
