Localized Choriocapillaris Flow Deficits at Perforating Vessel Sites in Myopic Eyes
Localized CCFDs were consistently observed at PSV sites in myopic eyes. Although higher age, global CCFD, and PSV area were associated with greater localized deficits, longer AXL was associated with lower CCFDs, possibly reflecting scleral remodeling or altered PSV orientation in more significant myopia. These findings highlight the relevance of PSVs as early modulators of CC flow before the development of pathologic myopia.
