Concomitant associations of rapid axial growth with retinal curvature and dominant distribution patterns of choroidal thickness in children

Increased nasal mid-peripheral RC and reduced temporal-dominant CT distribution are synergistic features of rapid pediatric axial growth. SS-OCTA-derived metrics provide incremental value beyond static measurements, supporting imaging-based risk stratification. Quantitative assessment of retinal and choroidal topography may help identify children with accelerated axial growth patterns, supporting proactive refractive management.
