Integrative analysis of the choroid by quantifying Haller vessel and choriocapillaris parameters in different drusen subtypes

Abstract This study aimed to quantify the Haller vessel and choriocapillaris (CC) parameters in drusen subtypes in nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and pachydrusen. Ninety-five eyes of 80 patients and 28 control eyes were categorized into soft drusen, subretinal drusenoid deposit...
