Choroidal Blood Flow

Choroidal blood flow refers to the circulation of blood through the choroid, a layer of blood vessels located between the retina and the sclera (white of the eye). This flow supplies oxygen and nutrients to the outer retina, supporting the health of light-sensitive cells important for vision. Proper blood flow in this area is essential for maintaining visual function, and disruptions can contribute to eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. The choroidal circulation is highly dynamic, adjusting blood supply based on the eye’s needs, and its regulation is vital for overall eye health.
