Relationship between the morphology of the posterior pole of the eyeball and changes in choroidal structure and blood flow in myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The eyeball axial length (AL) is an important biological indicator of myopia, which has been widely studied. However, little research has been conducted on the relationship between eye shape and fundus structural changes in myopia. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the shape of the posterior pole of the eye, and choroidal characteristics by comparing with the relationship between AL and choroidal characteristics. And to investigate the clinical significance of the shape of the posterior pole in the pathophysiological changes related to myopia.

Methods

In this study, the data of 147 eyes (22 emmetropic and 125 myopic) of participants aged 20-30 years, examined in 2021, were collected. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to analyze the pos
