d) These eyes are at increased risk of developing
choroidal neovascularisation
The enucleated globe (in those cases where it was available) and the histopathological slide in all patients were reviewed by a pathologist and paediatric oncologist at SJMCH and KMIO, for presence of histopathological risk factors like
choroidal invasion, iris infiltration, scleral extension, optic nerve invasion posterior to lamina cribrosa and involvement of cut end of optic nerve by tumour cells.

Primary
choroidal dystrophies which affect the central macula are referred to as central areolar
choroidal dystrophy, posterior polar central
choroidal dystrophy, posterior polar annular dystrophy, posterior polar hemispheric dystrophy, and central and peripheral annular
choroidal dystrophy.
An ultrasound scan of the eye showed a single, 14 mm

Retina is the most metabolically active tissue in the human body [95] and is highly sensitive to the local perfusion rates of the retinal and
choroidal circulations.
In Japan, EYLEA is approved for the treatment of visual impairment due to myopic
choroidal neovascularization, (wet) age-related macular degeneration, visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (branch RVO or central RVO) and diabetic macular edema.
There have been a limited number of studies measuring
choroidal thickness after mydriatic use.
