Background We performed retinal and choroidal thickness mapping by three-dimensional high-penetration optical coherence tomography (OCT) and evaluated the choroidal thickness distribution throughout the macula in healthy eyes. Methods Forty-three eyes of 43 healthy Japanese volunteers were evaluated...
