Abstract:

More and more evidence suggests that changes in choroidal thickness may be associated with certain eye diseases, such as central serous retinopathy, pathological myopia, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic re-tinopathy. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) can quantify the thickness of the retina and choroid, to provide higher resolution, better security about clinical treatment compared with B-mode ultrasonography, indocyanine green choroidal angiography in choroid observation. This paper will review the application of choroid thickness in diagnosis of retinal diseases. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2016, 40: 301-305)
