A healthy control group was (Group3, 23eyes) also included. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), greatest basal diameter (GBD), and maximum height (MH) of the largest PED were measured on spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Internal reflectivity of PEDs and total choroidal area (TCA) were measured using ImageJ software. The TCA was binarized to the luminal area (LA) and stromal area. The choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean SFCT, TCA, and LA were higher in Group 1 (290.3\u2009\u00b1\u200986.8 \u03bcm, 0.840\u2009\u00b1\u20090.302 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      , 0.602\u2009\u00b1\u20090.227 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) than in Group 2 (215.6\u2009\u00b1\u200985.0 \u03bcm, 0.594\u2009\u00b1\u20090.183 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      , 0.429\u2009\u00b1\u20090.139 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) ( p\u2009=\u20090.014, p\u2009=\u20090.017, p\u2009=\u20090.020, respectively).
