Increased choroidal stromal area in patients with active Graves’ ophthalmopathy based on binarisation method of optical coherence tomographic images
Thickened choroid was observed in active GO compared with inactive GO. The proportional increase of SA was augmented as the disease activity progressed. Age, diopter and IOP were independent factors that affected choroidal area and components in patients with GO. Multicentre prospective cohort studies with a large sample size are still needed.
