Peripapillary Choroidal Thickness in Healthy Controls and Patients With Focal, Diffuse, and Sclerotic Glaucomatous Optic Disc Damage

Abstract

The peripapillary choroid of patients with glaucoma who have sclerotic optic disc damage was approximately 25% to 30% thinner compared with that in patients with focal and diffuse optic disc damage and with that in healthy controls. The role of the choroid in the pathophysiology of sclerotic glaucomatous optic disc damage needs further investigation.
