Nomogram including baseline CVI and SFCT change to predict the probability of slow AL progression. Patient 1 (male, 8 years old) from this study is shown as an example (presented in red). The baseline CVI was 60.55% and one-month SFCT change was 27.96 μm. To use the nomogram, the specific points (black dots) of the individual patient are located on each variable axis. Red lines and dots are drawn upward to determine the points received by each variable; the sum (122.15) of these points is located on the Total Points axis, and a line is drawn downward to the axes to determine the probability of slow AL progression under orthokeratology treatment (58%). CVI, choroidal vascularity index; SFCT, subfoveal choroidal thickness; AL, axial length
