Choroidal Thickness in Relation to Hypercholesterolemia on Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography
Purpose: To investigate the relationship of hypercholesterolemia and choroidal thickness in normal healthy volunteers. Method: This was a cross-sectional observational study. Volunteers with no ocular abnormalities were examined using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Choroidal and retinal thicknesses were measured at the fovea, and at 4 different locations 1 mm superior, inferior, temporal, and nasal to the fovea. Subjects were further divided into those with hypercholesterolemia (Group 1) and normal control subjects (Group 2) for subgroup analysis regarding the effect of hypercholesterolemia on choroidal thickness. Subjects with hypertension and diabetes were excluded. Results: A total of 322 eyes of ...
