Axial length of high myopic patients without choriocapillaris increased more compared with high myopic patients who have preserved choriocapillaris. (A) OCT of a 70-year-old female high myopic patient with an axial length of 27.22 mm is shown in the upper panel of A (choriocapillaris highlighted by *), while OCT of a 70-year-old female high myopic patient with an axial length of 28.72 and absent of choriocapillaris are shown in the lower panel of A. High myopic patients with choriocapillaris degeneration [choriocapillaris (-) increased more compared with high myopic patients who have preserved choriocapillaris (+)] in a follow-up for more than 6 months. *P < 0.05, two-tailed Student's t-tests (B) (n = 5 in choriocapillaris group, n = 8 in choriocapillaris degeneration group, respectively). Error bars indicate mean ± SD.
