This is the first study in the literature to evaluate the retinochoroidal microcirculation in the menstrual and postmenopausal periods with SS-OCTA. We observed an increase in both superficial and deep FAZ area and a decrease in choroidal blood flow in the postmenopausal period. We think that this enlargement in the FAZ area may be related to the decreased amount of estrogen.
