Abstract: The article explores the potential of short-term changes in the choroid in humans to predict long-term eye growth, particularly in relation to myopia. Studies have shown that short-term changes in choroidal thickness (ChT) can predict longer-term myopia progression and the effectiveness of myopia interventions in children. However, there are challenges in using ChT as a reliable biomarker for long-term eye growth due to differences between animal models and humans, technical difficulties in quantifying ChT precisely, and conflicting findings across studies. Further research is needed to determine the validity of short-term ChT changes as predictors of long-term eye growth. [Extracted from the article]
