PurposeTo compare choroidal vascular characteristics of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) by qualitative and quantitative analyses using swept-source en face optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images.MethodsEyes with non-neovascular AMD (n=32), neovascular AMD (n=30), thick and thin choroid PCV (n=33 and 27), and CSC (n=34) were enrolled. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and the presence and patterns of pachyvessels were assessed. En face images of the large choroidal vessel layer were converted to binary images for the analysis of vascular density.ResultsPachyvessels were identified in 8 (25%), 14 (46%), 28 (85%), 26 (96%), and 34 (100%) non-neovascular AMD, neovascular AMD, thin choroid PCV, thick choroid PCV, and CSC eyes, respectively (P
