[Research advances of morphological changes of the choroid in high myopia].

Choroidal thinning is an important feature of high myopia and has a negative correlation with the degree of myopia. However, due to the limitations of choroidal imaging, specific changes in choroidal thickness and vasculature are unclear. In recent years, the development of optical coherence tomography technology and optical coherence tomography angiography technology has made it possible to solve the problem. Emergence of biomarkers that objectively quantify choroidal thickness and vascular changes will help us understand the pathogenesis of high myopia and provide new ideas for the prognosis and treatment of myopia. In this review, in order to provide reference for clinical work, we summarize recent advances in the application of the two technologies in observing morphological changes of the choroid in high myopia and discuss the problems and prospects when they are combined with artificial intelligence for choroidal imaging.
