Objective To investigate the relationship between choroidal thickness (CT) and equivalent power and intraocular pressure (IOP) in a myopic Chinese population. Methods This cross-sectional study included 118 myopic patients. Choroidal thickness was measured at the fovea and 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 mm temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior to the fovea using spectral-domain OCT. IOP was measured with a non-contact tonometer. Refractive error was described as equivalent power. The data of the right eyes were analyzed with a one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis. Results CT at 1.0 and 2.5 mm nasal to the fovea was thinner than CT at the fovea and the three other directions (P<0.01). CT at the fovea and 0.5 and 1.0 mm temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior to the fovea were negatively correlated with equivalent power (r=-0.330, -0.207, -0.205, -0.272, -0.317, -0.283, -0.269, -0.212, -0.252; P<0.05). No correlation was found between equivalent power and CT at 2.5 mm temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior to the fovea. There was no correlation between CT at 2.5 mm nasal to the fovea and IOP. CT at other locations was negatively correlated with IOP (r=-0.295, -0.358, -0.459, -0.675, -0.315, -0.285, -0.314, -0.322, -0.295, -0.392, -0.336, -0.317; P<0.01). The formula obtained with multiple linear regression analysis was as follows: CT at the fovea (μm)=345.22-4.54×IOP (mmHg)-7.57× equivalent power (D) (F=12.51, P<0.01). Conclusion CT at the fovea and close to the fovea became thinner as equivalent power increased, but CT away from the fovea was not affected by equivalent power. CT at most locations became thicker as IOP decreased.
