Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) was used to measure the age-dependent changes in macular choriocapillaris (CC) flow deficits (FDs) in normal eyes. A prospective, cross-sectional study. Subjects with normal eyes ranging in age from their 20s to their 80s were imaged us...
