Purpose: To analyze the change in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFChT) and its relationship with changes in axial length (AL) in myopic children treated with Orthokeratology (Ortho-k).Methods: Fifty myopic children participated in this study: 29 subjects were treated with Ortho-k lenses and 21 with single vision distance spectacles. The SFChT and ocular biometrics, including AL, were measured at baseline, one month, and six months after lens wear in both groups.Results: AL significantly increased in both groups over time. In the Ortho-k group, SFChT also increased; however, there was no significant change in SFChT in the control group over time. At the six-month visit, the magnitude of eye growth was significantly reduced in the Ortho-k group compared to the control group (0.06 +/- 0.10 mm vs. 0.17 +/- 0.10 mm, P < 0.001). SFChT was significantly thicker in the Ortho-k group compared to the control group at the one-month and six-month visits (15.78 +/- 11.37 mu m vs. -2.98 +/- 8.96 mu m, P < 0.001 (one-month visit); 21.03 +/- 12.74 mu m vs.-2.50 +/- 14.43 mu m, P < 0.001 (sixmonth visit)), although there was no significant difference between the two follow-up visits (P= 0.102 for the Ortho-k group; P = 0.898 for the control group). Changes in the large choroidal vascular layer (LCVL) accounted for the majority of subfoveal choroidal thickening (approximately 77% and 80% at one-month and six-month visits, respectively).Conclusion: Ortho-k treatment induced significant choroidal thickening and a slowing of eye growth. LCVL thickening accounted for the majority of SFChT thickening. However, its potential mechanism in myopia control requires further investigation.
