Abstract:
The choroidal vascular index (CVI) is the ratio of the luminal area to the total choroidal area. It can not only reflect the changes in the vascular composition of the choroid, but also serve as an observation index for follow-up treatment effects. CVI is a new biometric tool, which is gradually applied to the observation of choroidal structure in various eye diseases. It has great application prospects in the study of pathophysiological mechanisms, disease process monitoring and efficacy evaluation such as central serous chorioretinopathy, polypoid choroidal vascular disease, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy,etc. Understanding the research progress of CVI in various eye diseases can provide reference for clinical research of CVI.
