Choroidal vascular changes in age‐related macular degeneration

Abstract

There was no statistical difference in SFCT, but CVI was significantly lower in patients with AMD. Choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was also lower in 'normal fellow' AMD eyes as compared to controls. This suggests possible reduction in choroidal vascularity in eyes with AMD and also to a certain extent in the 'normal fellow' eyes without phenotypical manifestations and may suggest underlying choroidal morphological change leading to wet AMD.
