Abstract: 
This preliminary study aim to analyze the effect of citicoline to the scleral and choroidal thickness in rattus norvegicus myopia model. This study used lens induced myopia (LIM) method, by giving -10.00 D lens that framed with rubber ring for 3 weeks. The using of ruber as a lens frame has more complication risk than silicone frame. The 300 mg/kgBW citicoline treatment group increase the posterior segment od scleral and choroidal thickness. It could be concluded that citicoline could change the average scleral and choroidal thickness in rattus novergicus myopia model.
