Choroidal Change on OCTA in Eyes With High Myopia

OCTA to Quantify the Parapapillary Choroidal Microvascular Changes in High Myopia

Myopia is a global healthy concern, especially the high myopia and pathological myopia among Asian populations. However, its mechanism still remains largely unclear. Recent findings suggested choroidal changes might be related to the development of myopia. This study is to useOCT angiography (OCT-A) to investigate parapapillary choroidal microvasculature change in myopic eyes, and try to find the cause-and-effect relationship between choroidal change and the development of myopia.
