    Abstract:

    Myopia refers to the refraction state in front of macular fovea when the external parallel light falls through the refractive system of the eye. Myopia has seriously affected the healthy growth of teenagers,so that prevention and control of myopia have become a hot issue of social concern. Studies generally agreed that myopia has a close relationship with choroid changes, and the choroid thickness shows a gradual thinning trend with the increase of diopter and ocular axis. Evidence-based medical studies have proved that effective methods for myopia prevention and control(orthokeratology, defocus lens, atropine eye drops, illumination, posterior scleral reinforcement, etc.)showed choroid thickening effect, suggesting that choroid thickening is a protective factor for myopia control. In order to provide a reference for the change of choroid thickness as an evaluation index of myopia prevention and control efficacy, this paper reviews the effect of current effective methods of myopia prevention and control on choroid thickness.
