The thickness of the central choroid (BM-CSI) was measured with an SS-OCT device. The average choroidal thickness in the fovea was defined as average thickness in the central area of 1000 \u03bcm in diameter, according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS). The results were correlated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and reading vision.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The average choroidal thickness in the study group (SG) with LMH was 160.34 \u03bcm (SD = 77.1), whereas in the control group (CG), it was 225.11 \u03bcm (SD = 93.8). The difference of 64.77 \u03bcm was statistically significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The BCVA was within the range between 0.7 (logMAR) and 0.1 (logMAR), with an average of 0.36 (logMAR) (SD = 0.23). Reading vision was within the range between \u2212 0.2 (logMAR) and 0.3 (logMAR), with an average of 0.27 (logMAR) (SD = 0.12). A significant correlation between BCVA and the choroid (BM-CSI) was found. The correlation coefficient is average (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.44) and positive. With better BCVA, a significantly thicker choroid (BM-CSI) can be observed. No significant correlation between BM-CSI and reading vision was found. The correlation coefficient value is minor (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = \u2212 0.289), whereas lower values of BM-CSI can be observed with worse reading vision.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We suggest that the choroid may take part in the pathogenesis of LMH development.
