    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical research

    Background:

    • Choroidal folds are folds in the choroid, a vascular layer of the eye.
    • Understanding the etiology of choroidal folds is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the presence and identify the causes of choroidal folds.
    • To analyze the frequency of different etiologies associated with choroidal folds.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of 59 eyes with documented choroidal folds.
    • Classification of identified conditions causing choroidal folds.

    Main Results:

    • Choroidal folds were present in 59 eyes.
    • Fifteen distinct conditions were identified as causes.
  • Hyperopia was the most common identified cause.
  • Ten cases (approximately 17%) had an undetermined etiology.

    • Conclusions:

    • Choroidal folds can result from a variety of underlying conditions.
    • Hyperopia is a significant cause of choroidal folds.
    • Further investigation may be needed for cases with idiopathic choroidal folds.
