The choroidal thickness map showed a distribution entirely different from the retinal thickness map. Choroidal thickness varies significantly with location, axial length, refractive error, and age. These variations should be considered when evaluating choroidal thickness.
Vascular endothelial growth factor and also angiogenin, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1β, and Mig may be related to the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration. Intravitreal bevacizumab injection increases inflammatory cytokine levels, suggesting the induction of an inflammatory process.
The scanning laser ophthalmoscope images at 488 nm and 514 nm provide a better tool than some of the common clinical means for detection of the area of ILM peeling. This may assist with rapid, noninvasive assessment of ILM peeling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
