Comment on “Choroidal Thickness in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Type Dementia”

Abstract EN

The authors congratulate Bulut et al.

[1] for their study entitled “Choroidal Thickness in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Type Dementia.” The authors investigated choroidal and macular thickness in Alzheimer’s type dementia (ATP), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and control healthy subjects.

The findings are impressive and show that choroidal thickness in the subfoveal, nasal, and temporal retinal regions are all significantly thinner in ATP and MCI patients with respect to control eyes.

However, the authors did not find any significant change in terms of macular thickness.

The findings are really important, because longitudinal choroidal thickness data may be used in suspected patients.
