Diffuse choroidal retinal atrophy (DCA) is a type of myopic macular disease that presents with yellowish-white atrophic changes at the posterior pole of the eyeball. DCA is an important critical feature in the diagnosis of pathological myopia. Early intervention and treatment of this disease are of great significance in delaying the progression of pathological myopia and reducing the impairment of visual function. Ophthalmic imaging data can be used to diagnose the disease, and color fundus photography is the most simple and intuitive. Choroidal thickness is also a key indicator in the diagnosis of DCA, but the diagnostic critical value of choroidal thickness has not been clearly defined. With the development and popularization of artificial intelligence technology, the analysis of lesion imaging data is more objective and accurate. In the future, it is expected to actively establish a standard quantitative evaluation system for DCA by means of artificial intelligence to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of pathological myopia.
