Evaluation of macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness, macular volume and retinal nerve fiber layer in acromegaly patients

ConclusionThe macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer, and total retinal volume of the macula were significantly higher in acromegaly patients. Increased choroidal thickness may cause different macular pathologies such as choroidal neovascularization. RNFL results may be important in acromegaly patients with glaucoma, especially if the progress of glaucoma is monitored by OCT.
