PurposeTo determine the characteristics of longitudinal choroidal thickness (CT) and axial length (AL) changes in a group of Chinese young adults with various refractive errors.MethodsIn this 2 year prospective cohort study, a total of 291 (314 enrolled at baseline) Chinese medical freshmen aged 18 to 22 years (mean age, 18.7 ± 0.9 years) underwent eye examinations at baseline and follow-up visits, including cycloplegic refraction, ocular biometry measurements, and swept-source optical coherence tomography. Choroidal thickness measurements were performed at nine locations in the macular area.ResultsAt baseline, the CT and AL was significant differences among groups of emmetropia, mild to moderate myopia and high myopia. During a two-year period, there were significant differences found in the changes of the subfoveal CT (p 0.05). The multivariable linear regression analysis showed that baseline subfoveal CT (per 1 μm) was a significant factor affecting the changes of subfoveal CT (p |
