Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to utilize artificial intelligence technology to conduct an in-depth analysis of fundus data from myopic children and adolescents, thoroughly exploring the correlation between retinal vascular parameters and axial length (AL), and ultimately revealing the changing patterns of retinal vascular characteristics in children with different refractive errors. The findings aim to provide a scientific basis for the prevention, early screening, and formulation of personalized treatment strategies for myopia.
