Changes in Choroidal Thickness After Systemic Administration of High-Dose Corticosteroids: A Pilot Study

Purpose.: To characterize the effects of corticosteroids on choroidal thickness, we measured the choroid thickness in patients treated systemically with a high-dose corticosteroid. Methods.: A prospective, pilot study was conducted on 20 patients who required high-dose corticosteroid pulse therapy (>500 mg/d).
