Purpose: To determine the relationship of subfoveal choroidal thickness (ChT), refraction, and axial length in children, and evaluate the evolution of subfoveal ChT with time in myopic versus nonmyopic eyes. Methods: A total of 229 eyes of 115 children aged 2 to 16 years were included in the study. Refraction under cycloplegia, axial length, and subfoveal ChT were measured at baseline with comparative investigations at 15 months follow-up. Results: The probability for the subfoveal ChT to be thinner in myopic children compared to nonmyopic children was 0.9999. We found a relation between subfoveal ChT and axial length. At 15 months follow-up, subfoveal ChT was found to have increased in the nonmyopic eyes, but decreased in myopic patients. Conclusions: A number of studies have already shown the choroid to play an important role in the process of emmetropization. We found that ChT had a different evolution in myopic children compared to nonmyopic children. A thinner choroid may predict the onset, or progression, of myopia. Further studies, with longer follow-up, are necessary to confirm this hypothesis.

“…In previous studies, there was a decreasing ChT with increasing age in Asian children and an increasing ChT with increasing age in white children in the central foveal region. [6][7][8][10][11][12][13][14][15] Moreover, one research with large sample size carried our by our study group showed that age was positively related to ChT in emmetropic and mild myopic (SE > À2.00 D) children, while no relationship was found between age and ChT in children with SE À2.00 D. 16 Another our previous study also showed that the ChT was associated with height, 11 while height was not included in the model in this study. Different age distribution of the samples and different measurement methods of ChT may have contributed to these markedly different results.…”

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2018;59:1577-1586. https://doi.org/10.1167 PURPOSE. To determine the relationship between choroidal thickness (ChT) at the posterior pole and refractive error and to explore the difference between the macular and peripapillary regions in children with myopia. METHODS.A total of 340 healthy Chinese children underwent a series of comprehensive ocular examinations including cycloplegic refraction. Swept-source optical coherence tomography was used to measure the ChT in the macular and peripapillary regions. The Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study grid was applied to define the sectors.RESULTS. The mean spherical equivalent (SE) of the participants was À1.71 6 2.22 diopter (D; range from À7.63 to 4.25 D). The mean ChT in the central foveal, parafoveal, and perifoveal regions were 229 6 65 lm, 227 6 60 lm, and 215 6 50 lm, respectively, and the mean global peripapillary choroidal thickness (PPCT) was 136 6 33 lm. The choroid in the macular region and the global PPCT was thinner in myopes compared to hyperopes. The area between the central fovea and the optic disc underwent the largest change as myopia worsened. SE, uncorrected visual acuity, cornea curvature radius (CR), retinal thickness (RT), and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT, except for the central fovea) were the independent factors of ChT in the macular region. SE, CR, RT, and RNFLT were the independent factors of PPCT temporally, inferiorly, and globally, while only CR, RT, and RNFLT were independently associated with PPCT superiorly and nasally.CONCLUSIONS. Choroidal thinning might be uneven during the development of myopia. SE only influenced the macular area and sectors temporal and inferior to the optic disc.
