Research Article: The Association Between Lipid Profile and Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness in Chinese Patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Secondary to Type Diabetes
Introduction:
The choroid plays a crucial role in the visual process, accounting for more than % of the blood supply of the ophthalmic artery and the nutrient supply for both the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors. A considerable decrease in choroidal blood flow may lead to the destruction of photoreceptors and affect visual function. Recent advances in the development of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and enhanced depth imaging (EDI)-OCT have facilitated the quantitative measurement of…
