Choroidal dysfunction is implicated in various ocular pathologies. The parasympathetic pterygopalatine ganglion (PPG) innervates orbital vessels supplying the choroid. While PPG stimulation has been shown to dilate cerebral blood flow, its effects on choroid, particularly human subjects, require further elucidation. This study aimed investigate short-term influence of via electroacupuncture choroidal structure.

In AMD, rod-mediated dark adaptation (RMDA) at 5° eccentricity is slower in eyes with subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) than without. Here we quantified SDD burden using supervised deep learning for comparison to vision and photoreceptor topography.

To investigate the alterations in retinochoroidal parameters measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) patients with carotid artery stenosis (CAS) assess their associations digital subtraction (DSA) data. This study enrolled diagnosed CAS age-matched healthy controls. Both groups underwent OCTA examinations. DSA assessment of were performed only group. The evaluated various from OCTA, including linear vessel density (LVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ), choroidal thickness (ChT), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. DSA-derived measures included cervical segment (C1) diameter, cavernous (C4) percentage, ophthalmic (OA) filling time, C1-OA residual stenosis. A total 42 eyes 30 60 controls included. Patients displayed significantly decreased LVD compared to (p < 0.001). Additionally, group had thinner choroid RNFL = 0.047 p 0.001, respectively).
