Titre	Optical Coherence Tomography angiography volume measurements of the posterior pole of the eye in children under myopia control treatment. The effect of one-month daily atropine 0.1% eye drop use.

But	In atropine 0.1% myopia prevention we noted a rapid decrease in axial length (AxL). The purpose of this study was to investigate the cause and thus better understand atropine’s mechanism of action. The present study investigates, whether atropine’s effect on the AxL comes forth from an increase in choroidal thickness (ChT) using SS-OCTa (swept source optical coherence tomography angiography).
Méthodes	Twenty-five myopic children (25 eyes) (9 male and 16 females; mean age 11.8 years, range 7-15 years) were enrolled. Using SS-OCTa, ChT and CSV (choroidal stromal volume) were measured at baseline and at 1 month. AxL measurements were made on the same days.
Résultats	After one month of daily atropine 0.1% instillation in the subjects, ChT increased by 22.41 ± 4.20 μm (p < 0,01), CSV increased by 1.08 ± 1.02 mm3 (p < 0,01) and AxL decreased by 0.044 ± 0.016 mm (p < 0,05), shown by mean ± standard error (SE). The CSV and ChT increase show a negative correlation with the AxL decrease of -0.462 and -0.374 respectively, demonstrating a weak to moderate correlation.
Conclusion	Administration of atropine 0.1% eye drops daily over one month demonstrated a decrease in AxL concurrent with an increase in ChT and CSV. A direct cause-effect between these two parameters is plausible.
