Evaluation of choroidal thickness in AMD: A 10‐year follow‐up study

Purpose: To evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) progression in patients with Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) according to different phenotypes. Methods: Retrospective review of patients followed on AMD outpatient clinic from our hospital. Subfoveal CT was measured recurring to cross‐sectional s...

Description
Summary:Purpose: To evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) progression in patients with Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) according to different phenotypes. Methods: Retrospective review of patients followed on AMD outpatient clinic from our hospital. Subfoveal CT was measured recurring to cross‐sectional spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT) images. Annual measurements were performed for each patient. Demographics, visual acuity and number of intra‐vitreal treatments were also collected. Results: One hundred and seventeen eyes from 87 patients (mean age 81.6 ± 6.6 years) were included. Intermediate AMD (group 1) was present in 14 eyes, exudative AMD (group 2) in 83 eyes, and atrophic AMD (group 3) in 14, while six eyes did not present any relevant pathology (group 4). Significant CT reduction was evident during the follow‐up of all the groups (p
