AXL of both eyes of unilateral CSC patients and the control eyes were investigated.AXL was measured by ultrasonic biometry, and the adjusted AXL was calculated for CSC eyes as measured AXL plus differences of foveal thickness between CSC and normal fellow eyes in millimeters. The main outcome measures were comparison of AXL between CSC, fellow and control eyes.· RESULTS： The mean age of 35 CSC patients was45.5y, and 31 males were included. The adjusted AXL of CSC eyes was 23.52 mm, and the AXL of fellow eyes was23.46 mm, and of control eyes 23.94 mm. The AXL of both CSC and fellow eyes were significantly shorter than control eyes（CSC vs control, P =0.044; fellow vs control, P =0.026）. There was no statistically significant difference in AXL between CSC and fellow eyes.·CONCLUSION： In unilateral idiopathic CSC, the AXL of CSC and fellow eyes are shorter than that of control eyes. Short AXL may be related with choroidal circulation abnormality in CSC.展开更多
