Abstract

Choroidal thickness is reduced in diabetic eyes and parallels appearance and evolution of DR. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography clearly confirms in vivo previously reported histopathologic observations. The role of choroid in the pathophysiology of DR needs to be adequately investigated.
