Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography of the choroid in highly myopic eyes.
824
TL;DR: The choroid in highly myopic eyes is very thin and undergoes further thinning with increasing age and degree of myopia, and abnormalities of the choroids may play a role in the pathogenesis of myopic degeneration.

Alejandra Daruich,Alexandre Matet,Ali Dirani,Elodie Bousquet,Min Zhao,Nicolette Farman,Frederic Jaisser,Francine Behar-Cohen +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to recapitulate the clinical understanding of CSCR, with an emphasis on the most recent findings on epidemiology, risk factors, clinical and imaging diagnosis, and treatments options, and the novel mineralocorticoid pathway hypothesis.

Diurnal variation of choroidal thickness in normal, healthy subjects measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective study was conducted on 12 healthy volunteers who each underwent sequential ocular imaging on two separate days at five fixed, 2-hour time intervals, and a significant diurnal variation in CT was observed, with mean maximum CT of 372.2 m, minimum of 340.6 m and mean diurnal amplitude of 33.7 m.

TL;DR: While SFCT was affected by many factors, CVI remained unaffected suggesting CVI to be a more robust marker of choroidal diseases.
Choroidal thickness in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and exudative age-related macular degeneration.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates thickening of choroid in the eyes with PCV, in contrast with choroidal thinning observed in eyes with AMD, and suggest involvement of different pathogenic mechanisms in PCV from those in exudative AMD.

TL;DR: Subfoveal choroidal thickness in elderly subjects with a mean age of 65 years decreased with age and was also associated with male gender and the ocular biometric parameters of a deeper anterior chamber and thicker lens, indicating a functional aspect of SFCT.

Morphometric analysis of Bruch's membrane, the choriocapillaris, and the choroid in aging.

TL;DR: In advanced stages of age-related macular degeneration, the decrease in choriocapillary density and diameter was significantly larger than in normal maculae, but the thickness of the choroid and Bruch's membrane was the same.
The sclera and myopia.
TL;DR: Research highlighted in this review clearly demonstrates that the sclera is not a static container of the eye, but rather is a dynamic tissue, capable of altering extracellular matrix composition and its biomechanical properties in response to changes in the visual environment to regulate ocular size and refraction.

TL;DR: A retrospective study was conducted of 308 eyes with pathologic myopia obtained from 202 patients over a 67-year period, finding reasons for enucleation in the surgically obtained eyes included degeneration after retinal detachment; secondary glaucoma; endophthalmitis; postsurgical epithelial ingrowth; expulsive hemorrhage; degenerations after cataract extraction; and presumed intraocular tumor.

Prevalence and progression of myopic retinopathy in an older population.
TL;DR: The age and sex-specific prevalence of myopic retinopathy and 5-year progression in an older white population and a nonsignificant age-related trend in prevalence are documented.

Metabolic dependence of photoreceptors on the choroid in the normal and detached retina.
TL;DR: The choroid is not overperfused, but requires a high flow rate to satisfy the normal metabolic demand of the retina, and hyperoxia is predicted to have clinical benefit during detachment.
