Choroidal Thickness and Visual Acuity in High Myopia Without Myopic Maculopathy: Insights From a Chinese Population Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the association of choroidal thickness (ChT) with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in patients with high myopia (HM) and without myopic maculopathy.

Methods

This study was a retrospective, cross-sectional study of participants aged 7 to 70 years with bilateral HM but without myopic maculopathy. Swept-source optical coherence tomography was used to measure ChT at the fovea. A BCVA of logMAR 0.1 was regarded as the benchmark for normal. The association between ChT and BCVA was evaluated by linear regression models with confounders fully adjusted. Subgroup analyses were performed across sex and age groups.

Results

A total of 412 eligible participants were enrolled in this study. The mean age, spherical equivalence, and subfoveal (SF) ChT of the inc
