Choroidal thickness changes in hyperopia children after short-term use of 1% atropine gel
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2023, Vol 38, Issue 8
Abstract
[Objective:] To assess changes of choroidal thickness (CT) in hyperopia children after 1 week using of 1% atropine. [Methods:] A total of 42 hyperopia children aged 4–7 years were included into the study. A single drop of 1% atropine gel was used twice a daily for 7 days in the subjects. The thickness of retina and choroid was measured by OCT, and the changes before and after using 1% atropine gel were analyzed at the subfoveal and at 1.0 mm intervals (up to 3.0 mm) from the fovea at superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal locations. [Results:] In the hyperopia children, baseline CT parameters were varied with the location (P<0.05). Compared with the fovea, the CT at the nasal side, 2 mm and 3 mm above the fovea and 3 mm from the temporal side of the fovea were thinner (P<0.05). After using 1% atropine gel, there was no significant difference in the CT changes of subfoveal choroidal thickness and other sites of parafovea (P> 0.05). There was no significant change in retinal thickness before and after using 1% atropine gel (P > 0.05). [Conclusion:] No changes were found in the thickness of choroid and retina in hyperopia children after short-term use of 1% atropine gel.
