Biometric parameters and choroidal microstructure in Chinese children with unilateral anisometropia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the biological parameters and choroidal microstructure of the eyes of children with unilateral anisometropia and to analyze the factors influencing refractive development in these patients.

Methods

This observational cross-sectional study included 26 patients with unilateral hyperopic anisometropia and 34 patients with unilateral myopic anisometropia. Biometric parameters, including axial length (AL) and average keratometry (Ave-K), were measured. Choroidal thickness (CT) and vascular microstructure parameters, including the total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), stromal area (SA), and choroidal vascularity index (CVI), were obtained with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).
