Changes in the choroidal vascular index (CVAI), choroidal thickness, sunset glow index (SGI) and spherical equivalent refractive error (SERE) in the SGF− and SGF+ groups. (A) The mean CVAI was significantly elevated at all post-treatment examinations in both groups, compared with baseline. The mean CVAI in the SGF+ group at 1, 3, and 6 months was significantly greater than that in the SGF− group (P = 0.072, P < 0.0001, and P < 0.0001, respectively). (B) The mean choroidal thickness decreased significantly from baseline across time in both groups; however, no significant differences were found between the SGF− and SGF+ groups. (C) The mean SGI did not change significantly from baseline at 1, 3 or 6 months in the SGF− group. However, it was significantly greater at 6 months than at baseline in the SGF+ group and was significantly greater than that in the SGF− group at that time. (D) The mean SERE did not change significantly from baseline at any point in either the SGF− or SGF+ groups. Additionally, no significant difference was found between the groups at any point.
