66 healthy people (124 eyes) with different degrees of myopia and emmetropia were examined using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) using the “Spectralis OCT”. It was found that the choroid in subjects with medium and high degrees of myopia was significantly thinner than that in the control group. In the study, a negative correlation was found between the subfoveal choroidal thickness and the degree of myopia (r = -0.75, p < 0.0001). It was also found that the subfoveal choroidal thickness decreased for each diopter of myopia by approximately 18.03 μm.
