However, the imaging structure and vasculature of the optic nerve head (ONH) in guinea pigs are tentative. This study investigated morphological parameters and vascular characteristics of the ONH in guinea pigs with form deprivation (FD) myopia before and after scleral crosslinking (CXL), using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). Refractive error, axial length (AL), intraocular pressure (IOP), and OCT-based structural parameters of the ONH were measured at baseline and 3\u00a0weeks after the FD\u2009+\u2009CXL procedure in guinea pigs. The 88 guinea pigs analysed in this study were aged 3 (n\u2009=\u200929), 4 (n\u2009=\u200951), and 5 (n\u2009=\u20098) weeks. The IOP, AL, average and vertical cup-to-disc ratio (C\/D), circumpapillary retinal nerve fibre layer, disc area, and cup volume increased at 3\u00a0weeks compared to baseline values (all p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The refractive error and rim area decreased at 3\u00a0weeks compared to baseline values (all p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). After adjustment for age, IOP was correlated positively with average C\/D (p\u2009=\u20090.039) and negatively with rim area (p\u2009=\u20090.009). The severity of blood signal defects was positively associated with the average C\/D at 3\u00a0weeks (p\u2009=\u20090.027). These findings may facilitate further research on myopia using guinea pigs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-48461-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]],"date-time":"2024-01-02T20:02:48Z","timestamp":1704225768000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Morphological and vascular evidence of glaucomatous damage in myopic guinea pigs with scleral crosslinking"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lei","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziqi","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shichao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"48461_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"216","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2006.06.050","volume":"114","author":"L Xu","year":"2017","unstructured":"Xu, L., Wang, Y., Wang, S., Wang, Y. & Jonas, J.
