The choroidal expansion theory and emerging of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) made the study for relationship between choriod and glaucoma become a hotpot in glaucoma field. The choriodal thickness of patients with closed angle is thicker than normal or control group. However, we still can′t prove that thicker of the choriod is a cause for angle closure in patients with angle of angle-closed glaucoma. The choriod of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) isn′t thinner than normal, this identify that the choriod and glaucoma have no correlation or the correlation is very complicated.
