  • *Effect of choroidal thickness on the axial length were analysed using robust regression, adjusted for age, gender and baseline refractive status.

  • AL, axial length; Avg, average; ChT, choroidal thickness; InI, inner inferior; InN, inner nasal; InS, inner superior; InT, inner temporal; OutI, outer inferior; OutN, outer nasal; OutS, outer superior; OutT, outer temporal.
