Purpose: To examine choroidal thickness of healthy Japanese subjects using
spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and the correlation
with age and refractive error.
Methods: One hundred thirty three healthy volunteers had no ophthalmic or
systematic symptoms. The group of 133 subjects consists of 76 women and 57
man, with an mean age of 48.7 years. Eyes with high myopia (exceeding -6D)
or with retinal/choroidal disease were excluded. The choroidal thickness was
examined using enhanced depth imaging SD-OCT.
Results: Mean choroidal thickness were 258.6±79.9 micrometers under the
fovea. Choroidal thickness showed a negative significant correlation with age
under the fovea (P
