BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate choroidal thickness of patients with unilateral full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) and contralateral vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) and healthy eyes PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective case-control study of patients with unilateral FTMH and contralateral VMA and matched healthy controls was performed. Choroidal thickness was measured at five locations (subfoveal and 1 mm and 2 mm from the center of the fovea nasally and temporally) and compared between groups RESULTS: Nineteen case patients and 19 control patients were analyzed. Eyes with FTMH had thinner choroids compared with the contralateral eyes with VMA and the control eyes at all locations except 2 mm temporal from the fovea. Eyes with VMA had thinner choroids nasally from the fovea compared with control eyes CONCLUSION: Choroidal thickness was significantly decreased in eyes with FTMH except at 2 mm temporal to the fovea and decreased in contralateral eyes with VMA in the nasal directions, suggesting an association between choroidal thinning and macular hole |
