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.
近视已成为一种全球流行的眼部疾病。脉络膜在近视中起着至关重要的作用,其变化往往比视网膜和眼轴长期变化更早出现。眼轴异常生长是近视的一个内在特征,伴随着眼部生物力学变化,导致脉络膜视网膜萎缩、变薄以及其他并发症,尤其是脉络膜血管系统的并发症。成像技术的最新进展为这些变化提供了更深入的见解。本文探讨了与近视患者脉络膜血管指数相关的关键发现。
