The venous choroidal blood drains through the superior orbital vein into the intracranial cavernous sinus. The cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) may thus influence the choroidal venous blood pressure. Since volume and thickness of the choroid depend on its pressure, we tested the hypothesis whethe...
