Relationship between Choroidal Thickness and Anterior Scleral Thickness in Patients with Keratoconus
Choroidal tissue was significantly correlated with the anterior sclera across the vertical meridian. This relationship was observed over the superior sclera in SKC eyes, whereas in established KC, it was over the inferior sclera. These results reveal new insights regarding the interactions between the anterior and posterior structures of the KC eyes and confirm the enigma of the pathophysiology of KC.
