    The study analyzed choroidal structural and perfusion changes in children with varying degrees of myopia using EDI-OCT and OCTA.

  • 2

    Choroidal thickness decreased significantly with increasing myopia severity, primarily due to thinning of Haller's layer.

  • 3

    No significant differences in OCTA-derived perfusion parameters were observed between the myopia groups.

  • 4

    OCT-derived structural parameters were positively correlated with spherical equivalent refraction and negatively correlated with axial length.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that structural changes in the choroid may be more indicative of early myopia progression than perfusion changes.
