Abstract:Purpose
Studies report conflicting findings regarding choroidal thickness changes in response to myopic defocus in humans. This study aimed to investigate the choroidal response to myopic defocus in children and adults using automated analysis.
Methods
Participants (N = 46) were distance-corrected in both eyes and viewed a movie on a screen for 10 minutes. Two optical coherence tomography (OCT) radial scans were collected for each eye, then +3 diopters was added to one … Show more
