Abstract

To discover mechanisms of myopia or to understand the immediate outcomes after any specific treatment for myopia control, research studies are being conducted on a short-term basis. By creating an environment triggering ocular changes, thinning and thickening of the choroid with corresponding alterations in axial length in an anti-phase manner have been observed. The question to be addressed is whether the choroidal changes seen after short-term exposure have long-term consequences?
