Metabolic status modulates choroidal thickness – a possible early indicator for diabetic eye complications?

Conclusion Choroidal thickness is associated with metabolic characteristics, i.e. BMI and HOMA-IR. Due to the key role of choroidal function in retinal physiology, future studies are needed to evaluate whether metabolic traits, choroidal thickness, and potential metabolic eye complications are mechanistically linked.
