Choroid vascular index in myopic patients – A mini review

Abstract

Myopia has become a globally prevalent ocular disease. The choroid plays a vital role in myopia, and its changes tend to occur earlier than those of the retina and long-term variations in eye growth. Abnormal axial growth is an intrinsic characteristic of myopia, accompanied by ocular biomechanical changes that result in chorioretinal atrophy, thinning, and other complications particularly in the choroidal vasculature. Recent advancements in imaging technologies have provided deeper insights into these changes. This article explores key findings related to the choroid vascular index in myopia patients.
