Objective: To investigate the correlations between choroidal parameters and primary angle-closure suspect (PACS) in different age subgroups.
Methods And Analysis: Participants aged 50 years or older in a rural area of Daxing District, Beijing, were recruited. Swept-source optical coherence tomography was used to measure the choroidal parameters. Demographic, ocular biometry parameters and choroidal parameters were compared between the PACS and non-PACS (NPACS) eyes. Logistic analysis was performed to explore the association between the choroidal parameters and PACS.
Results: 192 (26.89%) subjects with PACS and 509 (71.29%) with PACS were analysed. Subjects were divided into two groups: group 1 (50-60 years, n=286) and group 2 (>60 years, n=415). In group 1, the mean subfoveal choroidal thickness of PACS eyes was 341.82±88.23 µm and thicker than NPACS eyes (315.07±83.53 µm, p=0.035). The choroidal volume was greater in PACS eyes (10.61±2.78 mm) compared with NPACS eyes (9.66±2.49 mm, p=0.013). In group 2, no significant difference in any choroidal parameters between PACS and NPACS was found. Multivariate regression demonstrated that increased choroidal volume was associated with PACS (OR 1.298, 95% CI 1.117 to 1.510, p<0.001) in group 1.
Conclusions: In the age group of 50-60 years, PACS eyes had greater choroidal thickness and volume than NPACS eyes, and the increased total choroidal volume was a predisposing factor for PACS.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation on anterior chamber angle parameters and posterior segment structures in highly myopic eyes and explore potential correlations between these changes. The study aimed to assess alterations in superficial and deep vessel density (SVD, DVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness to clarify the safety profile of ICL implantation.
Methods: Prospective observational study, included 36 highly myopic eyes undergoing ICL implantation in surgery group and 23 non-surgical control eyes in non-surgery group.
Axial length to corneal curvature radius ratio is negatively correlated with choroidal blood flow in myopic children.

Background: The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying early-onset myopia remain unclear; in this study, we investigate the pathogenesis by examining the interrelationships between axial length to corneal curvature radius ratio ( ) and choroidal blood flow.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 202 eyes from myopic children, categorized into 141 eyes with mild myopia, 47 eyes with moderate myopia, and 14 eyes with high myopia. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to measure choroidal blood flow perfusion within a 6 mm × 6 mm area of the macular region, divided into nine subareas based on ETDRS partitioning: macular fovea, nasal side 1, superior 1, temporal side 1, inferior 1, nasal side 2, superior 2, temporal side 2, and inferior 2.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of short-acting cycloplegic agents, tropicamide and compound tropicamide, on ocular biological parameters and choroid thickness.
Methods: In this study, seventy pediatric subjects aged 6 to 13 years were randomly assigned to two groups: the tropicamide group and compound tropicamide group. Ocular biological parameters and choroidal thickness (CT) and subfoveal choroid thickness (SFCT) were measured in both groups and were retested 40 min after drug administration.

Frequent topical administration of hypotensive eye drops in glaucoma patients may lead to the development of dry eye disease (DED) symptoms, because of tear film destabilization and the adverse effects associated with antiglaucoma formulations. To address all this, in the current study preservative-free latanoprost-loaded (0.005 % w/v) synthetic phosphatidylcholine (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine 0.
