Distribution and associated factors of choroidal thickness in highly myopic eyes—a real-world study based on a Chinese population
The SFCT decreases with age and increased axial length in highly myopic eyes. The formation of a posterior staphyloma has been identified as a major contributor to choroidal thinning and is therefore a reliable indicator for risk management. The involvement of choroidal abnormalities may be a significant factor in the development of myopic degeneration.
