Choroidal thickness measurement results of 124 patients (210 eyes) with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) obtained by enhanced depth imaging of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) are presented. There were no significant differences in choroidal thickness between patients with dry and wet AMD forms and healthy people of the same age group (р = 0.67; р = 0.26). A statistically significant choroidal thinning in patients with late AMD stages as compared to each of healthy people and dry and wet AMD patients was found (р < 0.0001).
