Purpose
To investigate the blood dynamic feature of choroid in normal eyes.
Methods
Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) was performed in each of fifty consecutive normal eyes. Results
The earliest fundus fluorescence emerged at the mean timiest fundus fluorescence emerged at the mean time of (14.25plusmn;3.59) seconds,it represented the beginning of filling of choroidal arteries located at the posterior pole.The irrigation of choroidal veins appeared at the mean time of (15.03plusmn;3.44) seconds.At the time threre was the overlapping imaging appearance of choroisal arteries and veins.The most hyperfluorescent areas appered at the mean time of(16.75plusmn;3.78) seconds with definite shapes located at the posterior pole,and this stood for the fluorescence stage of choroidal arteries,veins and capillaries.The fluorescence of choroidal vein began to weaken at 11prime;58Prime;15plusmn;2prime;39Prime;86,and revealed the imaging of late stage of choroidal veins.The latest stage of ICGA was at 22prime;13Prime;22plusmn;3prime;30Prime;55,and presented obscure fluorescence. Conclusion
The measurement results and fluorescent features of ICGA of normal eyes can offer consulted bases for the clinical diagnosis of the choroidal diseases.
