What was studied

This invited commentary discusses the spectrum of pachychoroid disease — including pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy (PPE), central serous chorioretinopathy, focal choroidal excavation, peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome, pachychoroid neovasculopathy, and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) — and reviews risk factors for progression between subtypes.

Study limitations

Only the publisher landing page and abstract-level text are available; the full commentary text is behind a paywall, so specific arguments, data, and conclusions cannot be extracted.
