Variations in the optical barrier of the choroid in the diseased eyes. Choroidal reflectivity was measured in the eye with a normal fundus (a), pathologic myopia (b), geographic atrophy (c), and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (d). In eyes with a normal fundus, the OBC was detected on OCT and in the plot (a). Because the choroid was very thin in the eyes with pathological myopia, the OBC was not detected on OCT and in the plot (b). In the eyes with geographic atrophy and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, no peak reflectivity presented on the OBC between RPE-BM complex and chorioscleral interface reflectivity (c, d). The black asterisk indicates RPE-BM complex reflectivity, the red asterisk indicates peak reflectivity of the OBC, and the blue asterisk indicates the chorioscleral interface.

Purpose To investigate variation in reflectivity of choroidal layers in normal eyes. Methods From the swept-source optical coherence tomography database, we retrospectively included eyes with a normal fundus. Choroidal reflectivity was measured on the horizontal and vertical B-scan optical coherence tomography images. The optical barrier of the ch...
