Peripheral Retinal Vessel Density in Children and Adolescents with Myopia: A Deep Learning Assessment
As AL increases, peripheral vessel density diminishes. This pattern may suggest a potential prioritization of blood flow to the macular region, although longitudinal studies are required to confirm this hypothesis. These findings suggest that deep learning analysis of ultra-widefield images can reveal subclinical vascular changes, offering a potential tool for early detection of high myopia risk.
