dc.description.abstractPurpose We aimed to evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 by using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods We included fifty-eight patients who have recovered from COVID-19 (group 1) and fifty healthy control subjects (group 2) in this prospective study. Best corrected visual acuity, anterior segment and posterior segment examinations of all subjects were performed. CT scan and measurements were taken with the EDI mode of the Spectral Domain OCT device. Results Of the 108 subjects included in this study, 57 were female and 51 were male. The mean age was similar in both groups (36.10 +/- 7.12 and 35.58 +/- 7.29, respectively, p = 0.276). Group 1 had the following characteristics: the mean time since diagnosis was 53.18 +/- 2.84; it had been 38.48 +/- 4.07 days since the PCR test was negative; and all subjects were outpatients. It was detected that the CT of the patients in group 1 decreased in all areas compared to group 2, and this decrease was significant in subfoveal, temporal and inferior areas (257.48 +/- 32.79, 273.62 +/- 45.04, p = 0.04; 232.96 +/- 41.79, 252.76 +/- 46.09, p = 0.02, and 245.22 +/- 44.58, 271.54 +/- 55.07, p = 0.01, respectively). In the retinal nerve fiber layer analysis for group 1, thickening was detected in all areas, although it was not statistically significant, except in the temporal area where it was (superotemporal, superonasal, nasal, inferonasal, inferotemporal, temporal, and global [p = 0 .08, p = 0.45, p = 0.73, p = 0.64, p = 0.74, p = 0.02, and p = 0.10, respectively]). Conclusion For individuals who had recovered from COVID-19, it was found that CT decreased in all areas in these patients. Therefore, this study in which we have demonstrated the decrease in the thickness of the choroidal tissue, a tissue with high blood flow, may contribute to the understanding of the systemic microvascular waste of this disease.en_US
