PurposeQuantitative metrics obtained from retinal fundus images (such as vessel length, tortuosity and other scale-dependent measures) are increasingly used as potential biomarkers for systemic diseases, including cardio- and neurovascular conditions. However, with the increasing prevalence of myopia and related axial growth, this study aims to evaluate if axial length scaling significantly alters the overall distributions of the inferred biomarkers when compared to biomarker data obtained witho...
