Retinal and Choroidal Vascular Changes and Systemic Diseases in Rats

  • 105 Accesses

Abstract

The choroidal vascular system has been a focus of interest in recent attempts to interpret the pathological features of the choroid. The understanding of pathologic processes in the choroid requires an exact knowledge of normal anatomy.
