Abstract Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) which may result in hemorrhage and edema, hence impairing vision. Fluorescein angiography is used to…
Abstract While choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is typically associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), other ocular pathologies such as pathologic myopia, inflammatory diseases, angioid streaks, central serous chorioretinopathy, and trauma may…
Abstract The advent of new technologies offering the possibility of analyzing both quantitative and qualitatively choroidal tissue led to new diagnostic approaches to traditional and newly described entities. The purpose…
Abstract Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease is a multisystem inflammatory disorder targeting pigmented tissues. The hallmark is bilateral granulomatous panuveitis with associated serous retinal detachments. It is more prevalent in darkly pigmented races….
Abstract The choroid is the vascular bed of the eye. It is separated from the retina by a fibrous tissue structure, called Bruch’s membrane (BM). Adjoining to BM is the…
Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common form of irreversible vision loss in the Western world. AMD is classified into the dry, nonexudative, nonneovascular form and the wet,…
Abstract Retinal dystrophies include different hereditary disorders characterized by a progressive loss of the retinal pigment epithelium layer and the choriocapillaris. This spectrum of dystrophies may present with different phenotypic…
Abstract The choroid provides the main blood supply to the eye and plays a key role in eye physiology. Different entities can compromise its structure and function, having a striking…
Abstract The choroid is the middle layer of the eye, a very vascular and pigmented tissue whose role in several ophthalmological pathologies has been clearly established already. However, it was…
Abstract Being the most vascular tissue, choroid plays an important role in visual function. However, the knowledge about the choroid was limited because of its location and complex architecture. Understanding…
