It is generally accepted that abnormal blood supply to the optic nerve is involved in glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Since the blood supply of the prelaminar area of the optic nerve head originates from branches within the peripapillary choroid， the relationship between glaucoma and choroidal blood flow has attracted much attention. Moreover， in terms of the pathogenesis of glaucoma， choroidal expansion is regarded as one of the contributing factors that induce an acute attack of primary angle-closure glaucoma. With the use of enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography， the human choroid can be measured accurately in vivo in the clinic. In this article， we review the study of choroidal thickness in glaucoma patients， and further discuss the role of the choroid in the development and progression of glaucoma.
