Abstract:
Abstract:The choroid is a multifunctional dynamic structure located between the sclera and the Bruch membrane, which may be involved in the regulation of eye growth and the development of myopia. Choroidal thickness may serve as an important biomarker for predicting the development of myopia and the effectiveness of myopia control treatments in children and adolescents. The study reviews and summarizes the physiological structure and measuring methods of the choroid, and discusses its influencing factors including age, physiological changes, refractive status, axial length, drug effects, optical environment and so on. The review points out the potential applications of choroidal thickness in myopia research among children and adolescents.
