Macular choroidal thickness profile in healthy population measured by swept‐source optical coherence tomography

Purpose To determine choroidal thickness (CT) profile in healthy population by swept‐source longer‐wavelength optical coherence tomography (SS‐OCT). Methods Cross‐sectional, non‐interventional study. The macular area of 276 eyes, from 154 healthy patients was studied with an SS‐OCT prototype system....

Zusammenfassung:Purpose To determine choroidal thickness (CT) profile in healthy population by swept‐source longer‐wavelength optical coherence tomography (SS‐OCT). Methods Cross‐sectional, non‐interventional study. The macular area of 276 eyes, from 154 healthy patients was studied with an SS‐OCT prototype system. A horizontal CT profile of the macula was created by manually measuring subfoveal CT (SFCT, from the posterior edge of retinal pigment epithelium to the choroid/sclera junction). Three further determinations were performed every 1000 μm nasal to the fovea and five more every 1000 μm temporal to the fovea. CT was independently determined by two observers. Results SS‐OCT allowed visualization of CT in all cases (100%). Mean SFCT was 301.89±80.53 μm (95% confidence interval: 292.34 to 311.43). Mean horizontal macular CT (MCT) was 258.69±64.59μm (95% confidence interval: 251.04 to 266.35). Mean SFCT was 325.6±51.1 μm in 0 to 10 years, 316.7±90.1 μm in 11 to 20 years, 313.9±80.3 μm in 21 to 40 years, 264.6±79.3 μm in 41 to 60 years and 276.3±88.8 μm in more than 60 years (P 60 years respectively (P
