Our findings suggest that both choroidal vessels and stroma are equally involved in central serous chorioretinopathy, uncomplicated pachychoroid, and pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy. The choriocapillaris segment seems to be more affected in central serous chorioretinopathy compared to uncomplicated pachychoroid and pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy. However, the reduced optical coherence tomography angiography signal in central serous chorioretinopathy group could be due to shadowing artifact or choriocapillaris hypoperfusion and further studies with higher quality imaging tools are needed.
