  1. RRC, retinal radius of curvature; H, horizontal scan meridian; V, vertical scan meridian; ChT #n, choroidal thickness in specific ETDRS area
  2. Asterisks behind the Spearman \(\rho\) value denote significant correlations of the retinal parameters with axial length or refractive error, with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
