Comprehensive Visualization of Choroidal Alterations in Thyroid Eye Disease With Ultra-Widefield OCT Angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate choroidal and optic disc alterations in eyes with thyroid eye disease (TED) compared with healthy eyes by using TowardPi widefield optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods

This was a retrospective cross-sectional cohort study. A total of 112 participants (60 TED patients and 52 healthy controls) underwent TowardPi widefield OCTA, which provided detailed demographic and clinical data. Three-dimensional choroidal data, including thickness, vascular metrics, and optic disc measurements, were obtained from the built-in software.

Results

The study included 24 eyes with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), 24 eyes with active non-DON TED, 71 eyes with inactive TED, and 104 healthy eyes. Choroidal thickness significantly decreased in the opt
