Choroidal Hyperreflective Foci Represent a Common Finding Across Different Types of Macular Atrophy
HRFs represent a common OCT finding in various disorders associated with macular atrophy. Their quantity correlates with atrophy size rather than disease type, suggesting they are likely normal choroidal components rendered visible by RPE loss. Future studies are warranted to elucidate their origin and potential implications for disease progression.
