Water drinking increased choroidal blood vessel size and thickness, correlating with IOP elevation. This suggests choroidal vascular changes impact IOP and should be considered when evaluating retinal disease.

Normal eyes show significant diurnal choroidal thickness changes, primarily driven by variations in the luminal (blood vessel) area, not the stromal tissue. This suggests choroidal blood flow impacts daily choroidal structure.

This study found that post-vitrectomy dissociated optic nerve fiber layer (DONFL) appearance is caused by dimples within the retinal nerve fiber layer on OCT, clarifying its structural basis.
