Structure-Function Associations of Choroidal Thickness With Retinal Sensitivity in Myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the focal relationship between choroidal thickness and retinal sensitivity in myopic eyes.

Methods

Participants underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging and microperimetry testing. Choroidal thicknesses were obtained by segmenting the SS-OCT scans using a deep-learning approach. Retinal sensitivity was measured at 33 locations using scotopic microperimetry, and corresponding focal choroidal thickness at these locations were computed. Focal structure-function associations between retinal sensitivity and choroidal thickness across 15 retinal eccentricities were evaluated, and adjusted for retinal thickness, signal strength, age, axial length, and gender.

Results

The analysis included 280 ey
