The regulatory role and mechanism of choroid in the development of myopia
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2024, Vol 39, Issue 12
Abstract
In recent years, with the acceleration of the pace of life in modern society and the popularization of electronic products, myopia has gradually affected younger individuals and has a higher incidence rate, becoming a public health problem that cannot be ignored. Both animal and human studies have found that during the development of myopia, the choroid exhibits thinning and is accompanied by reduced blood perfusion. These changes are positively correlated with increased myopia and axial growth. Studies have shown that changes in choroidal thickness not only occur in the early stages of myopia, but also continue to occur in the progression stage of myopia. In addition, the regulation of choroidal blood flow is also closely related to the occurrence and development of myopia, which may affect the growth of the eyeball through the action of neural mechanisms and growth factors. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)technology has shown great potential in exploring choroidal changes and vascular function in the progression of myopia. It can provide non-invasive information on choroidal structure and blood flow, which is crucial for understanding the role of the choroid in the regulation of myopia. Future research should combine advanced OCTA technology to further explore the specific changes in the choroid in different stages of myopia and the underlying mechanisms, especially the relationship between choroidal blood flow regulation and eyeball growth. A better understanding of the role of choroid in myopia regulation will aid in developing effective prevention and control measures, providing a solid theoretical foundation for myopia prevention strategies.
