Choroidal vascularity index in health and systemic diseases: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The choroid, a highly vascular structure within the eye, is significantly influenced by various systemic conditions. The advent of enhanced depth optical coherence tomography has improved our ability to evaluate choroidal pathophysiology. The choroidal vascularity index (CVI), a noninvasive and reliable tool, serves as an effective means of assessing the choroidal vascular structure. Recent studies have increasingly focused on exploring CVI alterations under different systemic conditions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the latest research findings in this area.

Methods

A systematic literature review was conducted on October 1, 2023, using two databases, MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Scopus. Search terms were tailored specifically for each databas
